Thanks for that Matt, That appears to have cured my dilemma. Now I just have to backtrack all my frustrated attempts to achieve this other ways.
Thanks again!

Hi Harry (and others): The solution to this one is a little opaque. Anyway here's what I would do to solve what I understand is your problem: * Open the PCB * Click on Design->Netlist Manager * Click on the menu button on the lower left corner of the dialog that opens * Select "update free primitives from component pads" This should update all tracks etc to be the correct net.
