How do I launch one project from another?

I want to use one captivate file for a menu from which to launch all the "chapters"

Can I do this in Preview? It seems to try to launch from a temp directory - so I'm thinking it won't work.

Does it have to be published versions?

Do I need the full path or what?

I've tried both the CPTX file and the HTML file - but I think the paths do not work.

What am I missing?

Are you intending to ever try to have this content delivered from a SCORM LMS?  If so, then your current strategy will not work.

Assuming you are only ever going to want to deliver from a web server and not an LMS...

If you are publishing to HTML, you need to be testing the functionality after uploading to that web server, not from your local PC drives. You should be using the Open URL or File action from your menu project, and you can then use Relative Links to point to the main HTML file of each project (located in its own directory on the web server).
