Holding Variables Module to Module? How?

One idea. Tried this just now. I created 2 two-page courses with the same name externally and internally. I published them and put them in different folders on my web site. They used a variable with the exact same name. I set the variable in the first course and when I clicked a button that linked me to the second course in a different folder, it retained the variable value. I did not try retaining the value between sessions but you did not ask for that. I did check Use Javascript Title manager when publishing.Now, while this may solve the passing variables problem, it may cause other problems if you are trying to report results thru an LMS. Don't use one so I can't test that part.cheers, ben
