<DIV><SPAN class=000440010-14042008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a question
on the SCORM tracking though. When previewing the piece the menu details
each chapter as 'Not Started' and the status stays that way, which is what I
expected as we are not running through an LMS at this point. I have
published the file and packaged as SCORM 2004, and then uploaded to a SCORM
2004 compliant LMS. The PIF uploads and launches without error, but on
first and subsequent runs the menu items show as 'Completed'?? I
wasn't expecting this! OK, so what did I do wrong /
miss?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
