Hello PIC.ers,

This is probably simple to answer.
uchip `sort of'  cover it in data sheets and the ICD help files but all I
see
is ambiguity.

I need to reset all data EEPROM to 0x00 when programming the 16F877 using
the ICD.
Apparantly ticking the box:
     Program Option > Erase All Before Program
is supposed to ensure this.

Usually, it does. *But* I have at least two devices, each reprogrammed
many times which refuse to reset.  The data EEPROM area has scarcely
been used at all and the program otherwise runs perfectly.

Any clues?


        best regards,   John
