Kathy,
I have read all the posts up to this morning and your problems is
definitely a bit mystifying. Are you sure the netlist is fine? My first
thoughts were that you problem was probably a net bussing problem or port
connection problems but that doesn't explain the netlist being correct now does
it?
It is just that so many people have problems with Protel busses and I
don't know why, you can't bus dissimilar named nets in Protel, nor Orcad, nor
most tools I have ever used so I don't know why so many people think you can to
start with.
Looking over your error report I can't help but still think that this
is a bus problem. How are you netlisting, with Nets and Ports Global I would
believe?
This is stretching it but could there be two issues, could you have a
disconnect between ports (i.e. slight name mismatch) but the connections are
still being made because of the individual Nets being correct? It is getting
the connection from the netnames but your error is being generated because of a
mismatched Port or Port name?

IT sounds like you are using the default ones :)
I get no errors on default :)
Oh well I will put it down to protel erring on the cautious side and go
back to default lol
