I recently created a patch that uses a [groove~] object to play a .wav file from a [buffer~] object. I attached a [loadmess] object to the [buffer~] object that sent "read filename.wav" in order to automatically load the correct file. This was working very well.

I created the patch on a MacBook running Max 8.1.0 and transferred the patch to another MacBook running Max 8.0. I transferred the patch and the .wav file to the same folder on the new computer. However, when I opened the patch on the new computer I found the [buffer~] did not load the .wav file (as it had done on the previous computer). I then sent a "read" message directly to the [buffer~] object and a finder window popped up. I selected the file I wanted to load, clicked open, but the file did not load into the [buffer~]. So the [buffer~] object did not take the "load message" OR a manual "read message." Is there something I'm missing about [buffer~] objects? What could be causing this behavior?

There is a lot going on in this patch (at least for me), but the [buffer~] objects not loading .wav files is the issue I'm focused on. I appreciate any help you can offer.
