Hi Rob, Yes it is a nuisance that we cannot get a breakdown of component quantities, even the Protel format is not always perfect. So, we here use an Excel VB script I wrote to process the BOM, in fact it can select multiple xls files, add a quantity, select fields to match by and select fields to output to a final "project" BOM. Its fairly basic but seems to work. I could make this available if no other soultion is found.
