Hi dimitriy, thank for reply I checked the page and find some useful infos. I mange to see the Hex file in the programmer's Buffer. The problem was that the programmer was configured to show the buffer file in some different format, so, when I configure it to intel HEX, every thing were shown as it was generated by the MPASM except the last tow digits. These last two digits are basically the check sum. the application is still not runnign but I guess it would be the code rather then the programmer. I will enter today a simple LED blinking code to see if it is working. Thanks for your help any way.
