    My guess is that you meant to make this inst~>cellName rather than inst~>name (otherwise it's just looking at the instance name, rather than what cell is placed). That's from a 30 second look without more careful review. You could also change the second dbOpenCellViewByType to just do a dbReopen in "a" mode to avoid increasing the open count - might simplify the code a little.

    Andrew.
