Brad, I'll try that. FYI, it doesn't even occur when I'm working with another pcb in the SAME .ddb file. Very frustrating. It's happened in the past but just seems to go away or only happens with a few commands, now it's everything.

Tim, my first guess is that something has corrupted your "ADVPCB.DLL" file. Others would probably know better if I am wrong. First thing that I would do is to save and protect any files that you have customized (ie. INI files, libraries, etc.). If this error is only occuring in one database (try others to see if they are acting similarly), then you can try the database repair facility which is found under the Downward Arrow on the menu bar, under the Design Utilities, Repair tab. You must have the database closed to perform the database repair. Then Protel has a repair facility built into their install CD. This will repair/replace damaged install files. After applying the repair facility you should probably also apply the latest service pack which you had previously installed. Should be SP6. Short of that, I can't think of anything else. Other may have better comments. Sincerely, Brad Velander. Lead PCB Designer Norsat International Inc. #300 - 4401 Still Creek Drive, Burnaby, B.C., Canada, V5C 6G9.
