Does anyone know what it means when you get an error in MEL that says "Error: no object matches name: ____"? This has become a thorn in my side as of late.

It means something is trying to access an object by name, and an object by that name doesn't exist. What are you doing when this error pops up? Also don't forget that object names are case-sensitive, so capital letters matter.

it could also mean that there are two objects with the same name (silly error, I know.. but hey. :)

try doing something like:

ls "*objectName"

and see if anything comes up
