I am working on the potting shed and the garden studio things go fine until I try and load the scene from the garden studio. I have the location in the directories and also checked the textures folder and the file daz is looking for is in there. I do choose locate from the error box and select the file but it won't load and keeps repeating the error message. I am at wits end as to what I am doing wrong and I am also puzzled as to why in the error message reads GS_Shovels_B.jpg.jpg should there be a double jpg at the end

Thanx for any advice

That would appear to be the problem, so it's a mistake in the file you're trying to load.
Try opening the file in a text editor and (assuming it is a text file) you should be able to correct it.

You might also want to report the defect to DAZ.

I had this problem a long time ago and worked out that it was due to editing the cr2 file in wordpad or notepad. It had the habit of putting an extra .jpg extension on the end of the file. I solved by using Open Office or the Windows or any equivalent  word processors.
Notepad and Wordpad can't handle some of the larger files (and even some of the smaller ones)
