You can prevent the variable from being incremented if the student has already viewed the page by adding a condition to your action that checks to see first what page number they're on and compare it to the current counter value.For instance the condition might be, only perform action if yourVariable is less than VAR(PageInTitle) then add 1 to yourVaribleIf the content is published out to normal html and you have the tracking variable set to be retained between sessions it will store the value only on the user's computer within a cookie file. If the user clears their cookies or goes to a different machine, the variable information will be lost. Placing the content in a SCORM or AICC conformant LMS will allow the variable to be stored on the LMS server so that when the student logs back in their information will still be there.You could also have the information submitted to script and then program the script to save this information on your server. For more information please see this topic: CGI scripts
