I created one large course that consists of 7 modules with 187 slides total. Its large size seemed to cause memory problems and errors even tho my workstation has the max ram IT could install. I decided it might be better to break it into a set of four with a swf/htm set for each. So I want the user to click a button at the end of m1 and goto m2-3 and so on. Of course I can make this happen on my workstation by putting the path in the Open URL or file dialogue. But if I zip up the files and send them to Europe when a user there downloads the "package" and extracts the files it won't work because the paths are from my computer and the will not work on another. I'm use CP8 and I do not see anything like the aggegator of days past? nes pas?

The company will have an LMS but not for at least 18 months. Do I have get IT involved to set up a web server to do this? I suppose I could end each module with an instruction to open the next manually etc. When I used Toolbook years ago there was a way to link one "book" to another. How can this be done with Captivate?

You need to use relative links. So if your folder structure is something like:

M1

M2

M3

then the link from M1 to M2 would be ../M2/index.html
