Hi Thanks for your response. PIC is definitely an F84 and not an F84A. Even tried changing the parameters to F84A...still had same message error. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reelf Monsees" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 4:53 PM Subject: Re: [PIC]: Unexplained Programming Error PIC16F84 Are you sure that you use an F84 and not the F84A ?
