I am accustomed to using two digits in my bus numbering so that signal names sort correctly. That means I would name a bus BUS[15:00] instead of BUS[15:0] so that the lower signals would be BUS00, BUS01... I am getting errors in Orcad about wires with only one connection. Is this the reason? I don't see anything in the help that says I can or can't do this.
Orcad bus names using leading 0's

OrCad doesn't tolerate leading zeros in a bus index.
Make a quicky 2-sheet test; you'll see.
...or RTFM

Thanks, I just wanted to see if anyone knew for sure that Orcad did not allow this. I have not done schematics in a year or two and all the various tools seem to blend together after awhile. I expect I have used the leading zero naming convention in VHDL or possible Viewlogic which is the only other capture program I can recall working with.
Thanks for your reply.
You're very welcome. The issue is specifically covered both in the online help and in the User's Guide. There are other useful things there too, BTW.
