Thank you for the quick response. Yes I noticed that it was set to version 5 of Poser although I am using version 7.  The poser folder is correct and the figure comes in fine and renders fine but without the animation.  I can select say frame 30 and that frame comes in with the figure posed properly so I know it is seeing the different frames.

Is there something regarding the timeline I need to do? I am not doing anything to the PZ3 other and positioning it withing the scene. This is bizarre - don't know what is happening.... :-(
