Thanks for the reply.  I couldn't find the obj file.  Out of embarrassment I left out the part where I trashed a folder that I could swear I copied and pasted to the folder I was trying to consolidated everything to.   So like I said, I searched everywhere and couldn't find the file. I didn't look in trash bin because I was kinda freakin out and didn't think of it till after.  I just didn't want to mess things up any more.  

So I restored everything to an earlier state and it all seemed to work out.
