Yes that is exactly what I am finding about the articles tabs for the users profile, and that may be a nice work a round.
I will investgate Moodle. Can that be used with Joomla/CB, or is it a seperate CMS altogether. I really would hate to change now, as I know my way around Joomla okay, and learning with CB each day.
Thanks again for the advice here. It is really helpful.
