Hi Chris,
        Sounds like you solved your problem, Great !

        In answer to your question about where to find info on config bits.
        Checkout the 'F62x Data sheet, 40300b.pdf page 96 for the
config word info.

  Can be found at;

http://www.microchip.com/14010/lit/pline/picmicro/families/16c62x/devices/16c628/40300/

        In retrospect, what lead me to believe the code protect bit
was not the problem is this on page 93 of the document indicated
above;

" 13.7 DATA EEPROM OPERATION DURING CODE PROTECT

When the device is code protected, the CPU is able to read and write
unscrambled data to the Data
EEPROM. "

        This seems to indicate that the data protect bit is for
external reads only and lets the CPU read/write data eeprom.


This also is a worth while document;

        The Mid Range Reference manual, 33023a.pdf, page 117 for info
on reading and writing the data eeprom. Can be found at;
