try selecting your curve after you're done making it and (from the modeling set) choose edit curves--> open/close curves.

Accept no substitutions.

well i did just what you told me to but it still says it the same thing...how do i check for unconected extra curves?

and can anyone tell me how to do this their way from the start because i think i might just be doing it horribly wrong even tho ive followed the steps for the tutorials and the one in the help section in maya :headbang:

you don't need to have the curves be one piece like that. What it really means is that all the ends of all the individual curves meet. (well, they have to be planar too, but that's easier to account for). The best way to do this is to slide the first cv of the next piece along the curve during creation. - hold 'c', and it'l 'ride' the curve, and 'stick' at the end (a little). I never have any problems.
