Ron,
You probably already know this but:
This might be an "ah, ha!" observation you made... If the plugins enabled on both machines don't match, you can get blank fields on the machine that doesn't have the matching plugins and plugin hardware. For instance, if you have the renard and or entec plugin(s) enabled on the development machine, but no renard/entec on the show machine, the sequence may appear to be blank on the show machine. If you're using profiles open the profile on the show machine and disable the plugins for the hardware that isn't the same as on the development machine, then try opening your sequences. Or you may need to open the vix file(s) in a text editor such as notepad, search for "PlugIn name=" and change enabled="True" to "False" and save the vix file.
somethin' to try anyhow.
