According to the manual, [15..0] may be used as well as [0..15]. There are other problems with connecting with buses and ports than can cause errors, warnings, and actual connection failures.
I was getting a persistent ERC "unconnected passive pin" warning with some pins that were connected through a net label to a bus and from there to a port off-sheet. The net list, however, reported the pins as connected. I finally looked on the Protel Knowledge Base. Sure enough, there is an "issue" known for about a year regarding this, no. 2176. Problems like this with ERC are one reason why many users simply ignore the ERC. Bad idea. It's ugly, but once I've verified that those pins are actually connect, No-ERC markers are going on them. It would be much better if I didn't have to do that, next revision, that connection might get broken and I wouldn't know it. Protel should fix this! In this case, as it turned out, there was indeed an error; some sheet entries had been placed on the wrong sheet symbol. I could easily have missed this because of the confusion caused by false warnings....

At least that is my question....
