14,337 PointsThanks for the quick assist, Jeremy, sorry for the sloooow response due to the holiday weekend. I think part of the problem was in the iPad app, I've switched over to a laptop and browser and everything appears to work as it should now. I wasn't getting anything back when I entered the name variable correctly, no "Check Work" or "Move on to Next Task." I tried several times to go back to the beginning of the module and go thru the videos in hopes of refreshing the whole process, but still didn't work. Biggest lesson learned for me? Stay at it, don't lose the thread by not logging in every day. Thanks again!
