Hi David,
Well I got close, I think, the bom generated from Protel
must not have the 'group' option _not_ clicked.
'Sort without formatting' would run without errors, but
it only added a QTY column with the value of '1' in it
for all the rows, ie no grouping.

Is it surprising that Mr. Gillatt hated Protel? He expected it to work like

Dunno about XP, but that's certainly how I do big schematic parts in
P99.

Robert,
Good Morning!
Harsh! Protel works for me and I've got lots of projects in Protel. I can't switch
unless I can prove another software works better, costs no more than Protel, and

Your attitude only tells one thing: You are experiencing an error 40 (40 cm

Er, are you sure? Just go into the error matrix, and set each of the
'unconnected' boxes to a warning.
Any point where you think that unconnected is OK, stick a No-ERC on

If you've ever pulled your hair out because you can't get a sensible BOM

may have the answer. I've written a single click BOM sorter in Excel 2000
VBA, to sort the 'CSV' or 'Client spreadsheet' BOMs into a sensible f
