I Did a search, with no direct results.

Basically, i downloaded the CMX Importer for max, but theres no instructions were the files go, the plugin, obviously goes in the plugin folder, but where does the contents of the folder "Source" go to?

'Source' contains the source code, which you don't need. All Max needs is the cmximp.dli file. Make sure that file is in the plugins folder, and when you import a file, you should now have the option to import .cmx filetypes.

because they are 3ds files, the CMX importer wont bring in any materials either

see through? not sure why that would be happening, but ... it shouldn't be to hard to figure out why

yeah, its all sorted now, it seems the one i had, wasnt compatible with V7 of max, i found one for V6 that works with V7.

Thanks for your help guys
