TrekkieGrrrl, because you have Poser on the external drive and your files on the fixed drive I wouldn't expect you to get the problem. I think my problem is caused because I'm doing it the other way around, with Poser on a fixed disk and my files on the external drive. As to why some of your files aren't listed I have no idea. I found that just opening or just saving works fine, as long as my externl drive is powered up.

Ockham. Brilliant. I never thought of finding recent files like that. Duh! That's my way in future.
