Thanks hborre. I have opened the CR2 file with notpad plus++ editor several times and searched for the offending line of code pointing to figureResFile C:Drive poser directory. It is not there, there is no reference to this anywhere in the cr2 file. but it still comes up as a missing file when i use the collect scene inventory tool in poser. I have had some success by re-creating just the main OBJ part of my model as a new figure and saving separately to test it. It loads correctly with no missing file errors. Unfortunately this success means recreating the whole model again from scratch.

So i am assuming that there is some corruption of the original model during transition from OBJ to CR2 figure. As the runtime directory containing the OBJ's, CR2 files for my model are on a separate external hard drive, i am dumbfounded as the where the link to my C Drive Poser Directory comes from?

There is a new menu option which pops up when saving to a figure. Save as original figure geometry (content developers only) Save as New geometry figure

Perhaps this points to where the problem originates from? Although i have saved the file as both options several times they still give reference to this ghost file in my C Drive Poser directory when initiating the scene inventory. Is there a Poser Tech Department where i can upload so they can see where the problem is.

Thanks. Pat Lane :)
