But that's what I said.  That's the problem.  They are different.  Some of the layers are showing the texture map in the transparency map and I can't get it out of there.

Weirder still.  The attached image shows the hair as Smooth Shaded.  As you can see, it doesn't show up at all.  I tried changing it to other styles and they displayed properly.  Just by chance, I decided to go and look in the material room and guess what?  All the transparency maps were now showing in the right place.  The texture map was no longer in the space for the transparency map.  So I decided to switch the hair's display style back to Texture Shaded to see if things were now correct.  As soon as I did that, the texture map popped right back into the transparency space and I was back where i started.
