Hope this problem got solved. My apologies. I totally missed seeing this thread update. Not sure, but Notepad++ is open source license and free. As far as the error message, couldn't tell without seeing more. I'd suggest try opening it in poser, and saving the morph into your library, then open a new scene, try applying the morph and see if it still gives the error message.

Don't worry about missing the update. I managed to get it sorted in the end. The error message was happening even when I opened a fresh scene or closed Poser and launched the program anew. I was getting fed up butting heads with it and scrapped making my INJ morphs from the PMD file and managed to create the INJ and REM using Poser Binary Editor. Everything worked fine with this method. I just needed to keep in mind the names of my morphs so I knew what to search for. After doing 5 characters, I got into a nice rhythm. :)

You didn't say what version of Poser you have. That's always important to note when asking how to do something specific.

If you have one of the pro versions, then you can combine multiple morph dials into one dial by going to the Figure menu and selecting "Spawn Full Body Morph". This will create a new FBM based on every morph you have active at the time. Active means anything with a value greater than zero. The dial will show up on the Parameters pallet under morphs.

If you have PP2014 or P11 Pro you can also use GoZ from Poser to ZBrush, sculpt your morph on the figure, and then send it back to Poser as an FBM. It has to be done all in one session though. If you close Poser or ZBrush at any point in the process then any work you've done in zbrush will be lost.

Apologies. At this time there were a few threads that I was posting at this time and I must have overlooked the version on this thread. I know it is important to note the version number and I usually do. I'm using Poser Pro 2014 with Zbrush 4r6.

The problem with GoZ is precisely what you mentioned - everything has to be done in one session. (Which was a subject for a different thread I posted at the same time as this one and had no luck with responses.) For doing corrections, GoZ is brilliant but for creating facial or bodymorphs - not so much. It doesn't matter though. I have perfected my workflow for creating facial morphs.

Doing your method for "Spawn Full Body Morph" I'm not sure how I will then be able to create the INJ/REM files because the morphs for the head and neck morphs, as I mentioned in my opening post, will still be separate and I won't have a single morph name to search for in Poser Binary Editor in editing the .cr2 file. This is how I ended up managing to create my INJ/REM files for the morphs I created in Zbrush.

Perhaps in later characters when I create the bodymorph in Zbrush, rather than spinning dials in Poser, I won't have any issues with the neck morph have a separate INJ file because I will include the neck on the body morph and it will have its own unique name that I need to isolate.
