Retaining variables and progress markers

I am having 2 problems right now. I have reviewed all of the postings and believe that I have things set up correctly but they are still not working.I am working in Lectora 2006 and publishing my course in SCORM to Solo LMS. 1) I have some custom variables, all set to "Retain Variable Value between sessions" and initially set to 0. They are Chapter01_Done, Chapter02_Done, etc. At the end of each chapter, I set the variable to 1. The left nav has each chapter listed and an action on each. The first chapter checks the Chapter01_Done and, if 1, a mouse click goes to that chapter. The result is that the nav click doesn't work unless you have finished the chapter. On subsequent chapters, I have the mouse click work if Any of the following are true: the previous chapter or this chapter are done. That way, if you finish the previous chapter and then are somewhere in the current chapter, you can click in the nav to go to the start of the chapter.All works fine as long as you don't leave your session. If you leave and come back, you pick up where you left off but none of the left nav is working. It doesn't seem to be retaining the variables between sessions.2) I wanted to give a visual on how far the person has gone through the course. I added a graphic check mark with the following action:On: ShowAction: ShowTarget: Chapter 1 Check (this is the name of the graphic - there would be one per chapter once I can get this to work).Condition:Perform only if the following is true: Variable: Chapter01_Done Equal To 1This I can't get to work. I have also tried making it initially invisible and then having the action be Toggle Visibility State but I just can't get the combination to work.Any help would be appreciated.
