You should look at the programming spec for these kinds of details. I have personally seen some PICs act flaky when LVP was high, even though PGM was properly pulled high to Vpp. If I remember right, some programming specs tell you that LVP should be low, others don't mention it specifically. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
