use active field when have completed welcome process. however, need track each step of process well. if got page 2 of process , computer shuts off?

i have table tracks progress. each step added new user completes it. when steps complete, update active field in record in user table (indicating completed steps) , remove progress information table tracks it.

the next time user logs in, see have active flag set, , skip welcome process. however, if got partway through, active field still reflect 0 , progress table tell right left off.
