Create a tutorial that tracks progress for a specialized Access Database

[lscheer]

We are working on an access2000 database that will incorporate various "tutorial" or "training" elements in the db on how to use the db (mostly links to outside PDF files, etc.); the training elements guide users on how to do various data entry tasks, report generation, etc.

Is there a way, in Access, to track which "step" of the procedure a user is on? For instance, if they make it through Exercises 1-5, is there a way we can add some sort of indicator that lets them know, when they come back to it a week later, that they left off on Exercise 6? I have seen this done in various software tutorial packages, but I'm not sure how it is accomplished?

Any suggestions?

It could be as simple as a 1 field table starting as zero. When they click on a button/link/whatever, record that step in the table. Examine that table in your startup code.
