How do I get my captivate lesson to back up through branching and Questions?

I have a course of 60 lesson slides with question slides appearing throughout the lesson. It also uses branching. Our legal department wants the user to be able to back up through the entire lesson but I have encountered the following problems:
- When I use the skin to create a navigation bar the back up buttons won't follow the branched section the user followed but instead simply back up to the previous slide number.
- When I created my own back up bottons, which can be set to jump to the branched slides, I discovered that I can't add them to the question slides.
- When I tried a combination of my own buttons for the lesson slides and the back button, that is an option within the question slide properties, I discovered that once the user clicks this back up button on the question slide (and then comes forward to that question slide again) he/she is stuck and can't proceed past the question slide. The slide remembers the previous question response (the radio button selected previously is still black) and not even the skip button will allow the user to advance.
I'm hoping someone else has encountered this type of problem and can help me with a solution. I currently have both captivate 3.0 and 4.0.
Any help at all would be appreciated a lot.

Here's something to try...
Remove the skin so users must use the buttons you add, which will work with the branching. Add a menu to the project and strategically pick the slides that are included in the drop-down. I'm pretty sure you could have the menu go to quiz slides. I use lesson dividers as the options in the menu so users can go to the beginning of a section.
I will warn you that many folks have experienced quiz slides locking up if the user goes backwards through the module at any time. When they get to any quiz slide, there will be a caption that says "You did not answer the question completely" and the user cannot continue.
To avoid this glitch, I re-created quiz slides from scratch using click boxes and text entry boxes. This gives you a little more control over things, but you can't replicate every type of quiz question CP has.
Hope this helps...I'm no expert, but I've dealt with the same issues. Good luck!
