Hi All,

Thank you for your helpful suggestions. I was able to resolve the problem by doing the following:
(1) Opened the saved CR2 in a CR2 editor and checked the path to the OBJ file which was the one that poser created along with the CR2. 
(2) then attempted to open this OBJ file with UV mapper and got the following error "This OBJ file has no facet information".
(3) So I went back to the original mesh created in Hexagon, added a material layer, exported it and gave it a different name.
(4) Deleted all instances of the first OBJ and CR2 files.
(5) Imported new version of the OBJ into poser and then into the setup room.
(6) Added bones and saved as a figure once back in the pose room.
(7) Exit poser and restarted it.
And now everything is good.
