Thank you Bob and Phil, I feel less insane now. I alos tried everything . I even did control C , control V on the lib name and carefully re-pasted in my netlist. Ian, this should answer your question about my typo.
The only thing I didn't yet was follow my process of clearing the netlist first, then loading a clean one in. I have been doing this religiously on 99SE and have never, ever, ever had a hic-up. I am going to save the pcb, the netlist and the libs in their un-altered format and will re-visit it in a few days. If I dont figure it out, then I will forward it to Protel. I still have to get this design done so the changes I make to it might not allow the problem to show up again Thanks for confirming that someone else has seen similar problems, Im not totally nuts Mike Reagan >Phil, >I can add that this has happened to me too, hasn't been very recently >though. >But in my case it was not a netlist load it was from a schematic, it would >not load parts, tried like crazy to figure out what happened.
