I think you meant, ":Runtime:textures:productfolder:silverreflect.jpg"

(See how easy it is to make a reference mistake)

It's still a problem. Just becuase you make a proper reference in your poser file, doesn't mean that some other bozo won't use the exact same file name and not have a correct reference. This means that Poser will go searching for his file and probably find your's instead. The only way to avoid that is to use unique file names. Hence, my call to stop using generic names. "Floor" is my #1 culprit

Actually, that screw-up was because I wanted to use a different example (and missed the previous line).  If something is called silverreflect, you're probably safe using any silver reflection type map.  "Gold" on the other hand may be a reflection may, it may be a gold coloured uniform, it might be a slightly tanned Caucasian skin.
