alright, I'm a Max newbie so this question might be silly but after some research I still can not figure it out.

I have a group of objects (cells) and wish to bend them all together as a group. the problem is that when I apply the bend modifier it is applied to each single cell instead of the group any suggestions?

Howdy !

could you post a screen shot or the scene itself ?
Sounds weird to me, just created a bunch of objects, did not even group them, just selected everything, applied a Bend, and it applies to my selected objects as on a single object...
objects are not cloned but unique ones, and may they be grouped or not, it does behave as a single object.

Now you might have done something i'm unaware of that will cause this kind of behavior ?

here you go. the thing is that I tried it on a new scene and it worked... the only thing I did different was that previously I had converted the spheres to emesh.

well, I still don't know what happened but I just merged the objects in a new scene and that seemed to have fixed the problem... maybe I hit some shortcut without knowing.:surprised

yup it's really strange, but if it's a shorcut you've hit by mistake, then i'd like to know what it was ! : )
