X-man: Thanks very much for your response to ravenfeeder, it also straightened me out. I encountered the same problem after upgrading to 4.0.3.126. How odd though that 4.0.2 would not have this problem. I would think most users of Poser from time to time fill a scene with multiple characters that all derive from the same .obj file & that Curious Labs would surely have beta-tested the product & found it out.
