Thanks for all your help, people. The problem seems to be solved now. I only use Poser occasionaly and trying something new can be difficult. Thanks.

Still no good. I'v copied the DAZPople folder to P5 Runtime and also to the figures library. There is now a heading/folder "DAZ People" in P5 figures but nothing happens when I click on it. I'm obviously doing something really basic wrong!

Tried that. All I get is a 3D cross which P5 thinks is the figure.

Thank you all for your comments. As you may have guessed I'm new at this and I'm still stumbling around P4. I got ambitious and bought a CD with a load of images from deespona.com then found I couldn't do anything with it. Think I've cracked it now. Thanks again.

I've just logged on for the first time in months, looking for advice on translating 3DS files for use in Poser4. I think you've answered the problem Allen 9. FYI www.deespona.com have a selection of freebie models for download some look quite nice.

"This is America???" No it isn't Carolly. It's a forum on the internet. And perhaps unsurprisingly a lot of people on it are "foreigners".I am for one. I agree with Ron. When I read "potty speak" on a thread I don't envisage a mature, intelligent individual with a keen sense of constitutional freedoms, I envisage a self-indulgent child with a toilet vocabulary, and a petulant attitude.
