Brian and the forum, I did a little more digginh in my own archives on my own system, and have tracked down the original posts that I was thinking about, and they were from the DXP Technical Forum, and concerning DXP and not Protel 99 SE.
For the benefit of those that might not have access to the DXP Forum, I will incorporate those posts here below. I have asked for clarification of the issue from Altium in the DXP forum, and they may in fact clear up the issue as regards DXP. his does not therefore seem to be a problem with Protel 00 SE.
