Except when the individual data sheet tells you to refer to the mid-range=20 manual. Excerpted from section 5.4.1 of the 12f675 data sheet (DS41190A-page 31) "Reading the 16-bit value requires some care. Examples 12-2 and 12-3 in the= =20 PICmicro=99 Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023) show how to read and write Timer1 when it= =20 is running in Asynchronous mode." The original poster's question was valid: if current data sheets (the=20 12f675 is a brand new part) tell you to refer to a document, should that=20 document not be kept up to date? dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 18 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 2002) .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.
