Do you run ERC on the schematic? The usual cause of "forgetting" an airwire is that the wire is not actually connected to the pin on the schematic. Only wires connected to pins at both ends show in the PCB. It may look like it is connected in the schematic, but in fact it may simply be overlaying the pin. ERC finds that and reports a non-connected pin.

Sorry to come so late. I read the original post and then didn't follow the thread. I hope these suggestions help. BTW, I did not like the EAGLE beta. There were some minor improvements, but I found many of the changes a disadvantage. I particularly didn't like the new select feature. John.

Hi john,
thanks for the advice.

I looked at the beta, and several updates pleased me, but I still think its crap.

As for the 'forgetting' problem, whether eagle is forgetting, or eagle is not joining the net to the pin properly, it results as the same same problem to me.
It highlights the very point that im trying to make. Eagle cannot be trusted 100% (more like 33.3% trust ).

Im aiming to make a program that is trustworthy, and that includes functionallity that makes the designers life easier.
IMO the end user should not have to double check the output from the program, it should just be right, first time.

Eagle should include some type of snap command that allows nets to be snapped to the pins, and then the problem would not occur.
It really hurts when you've got to the drilling or even the soldering stage, only to find that Eagle has let you down.

I have vowed not to do anything electronic until my program is ready, I have seen enough of eagle to a last a lifetime.
Dont know if ill be able hold out until completion though.
