Use RES instead. In absolute mode I guess the debugger assumes all symbols could be RAM addresses and allows you to add them to the watch window. In relocatable mode there is RES specifically for the purpose of creating variables, so the debugger known that EQU symbols aren't the addresses of variables. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
