URGENT HELP!!! I can't access my shape keys in other scenes!

Hi, I need help URGENTLY (within the next hour at the longest!)

I added copied scenes to my animation and spent a lot of time working on them. Now I find out that all my IPO-driven shape keys only work in the original (old) scene! :mad:

How can I link/associate them with my newer scenes? Even if I can only do it with the last one.

Alternatively, can I copy all my IPO curves in my later scenes (object transformations and bone poses) to the original scene?

PLEASE HELP! I need to finish (including rendering) in a few hours!!

BTW, my shape keys still work if I select them in F9 (Shapes), but the IPO-drivers don’t work anymore. I thought it was due to the fact that the rigs and objects get renamed in the new scenes, but I tried to rename them to their original names - still no luck. I don’t know whether something in the database needs to be re-linked, but I do not know how/what to do…

OK, I got it working. For similar problems in future: I had to delete all the old scenes (in order to only have only one set of everything). Then I had to make sure that the object with the shape keys, the rig/armature and all the associated IPO drivers used only the correct names.

I could not get the naming right if I had other scenes.
