Setting AICC_Lesson_Status through Captivate

Question

Is there a way to set AICC_Lesson_Status in Captivate? I'm using the radio button and checkbox widgets to create questions and there are several ways to get through the training depending on whether or not questions are answered correctly..
Completions are not being registered in the LMS. I tried setting "Complete" at 30 screens in the publish settings which is the lowest number of slides a user will see if they get through the assessment without missing any questions. The maximum slides that would be viewed is just under 70 slides.
We've tried a number of options and none of them are working consistently so I need to find some way to "force" a completion setting from Captivate to the LMS when the user hits the Conclusion page.
My LMS guy suggested setting AICC_Lesson_Status to complete when that page is hit but I haven't been able to find any way to do that.
Anyone know how to do it, or have a suggestion on another way to accomplish getting completions registered when the Conclusion page is hit? The only way to get the Conclusion page unlocked is to complete the rest of the course content so if they get there they have completed the course so if there is a way to tell the LMS to register completion when that page is entered - or exited - that would be perfect.
As always, thanks very much for your help.

No, not really. I could probably figure out a way to get this working if we were SCORM compliant but the preference for working with this LMS is AICC (which apparently works better on it than SCORM – which is a bit disconcerting since I can’t get completions to register correctly under AICC).
The best I have been able to do is separate out the Conclusion module into a separate project. With report status in quiz preferences marked as “Upon Access” when the Conclusion page is hit, I can use an Open URL statement in the clickbox for linking to the Conclusion module and mark the course as completed. Unfortunately, doing that results in two links being in the LMS for this one course which is not acceptable. Or, to have just one link to the main course in the LMS for users to click, when the Conclusion module is opened from the Conclusion clickbox in the course’s main menu, the session between the main course project and the LMS is closed and a new one with the Conclusion module is opened and that is the one that is marked completed, not the main course.
I’m still trying to figure out what other options I have available but they’re getting pretty thin at this point.
Ideally, I would like to have some way to set a “pass/fail” or “complete/incomplete” setting in one of the system variables so I can “force” the completion to be registered when the user hits the Conclusion page but that doesn’t seem to be an option.
So, I’m kind of at a loss. I feel like I’m shooting at a moving target in the dark. Maybe I’ll get lucky and one of these shots will actually land and I’ll stumble on the way to get this done, but at this point I’m not overly optimistic.
If I can’t get this to work, I’m going to have to redesign the entire course and instead of letting users navigate through the modules of the assessment in any order and letting them know at the end of any module whether or not they passed that module (and let them retake just that module), I’m going to have to take them linearly through the entire course and wait until they complete it before letting them know whether or not they passed and, if they didn’t, force them through the whole thing again from the beginning. Not very good design or efficient use of people’s time, but I’m running out of options – and time since this has to launch on 1 May…
It should all be so simple…….
