Jan-Erik = Linker ??? its an include header file not a linker file = Steve -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of Jan-Erik S=F6derholm Sent: 13 November 2006 20:22 To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [PIC]: Very New User Problem Hi ! First, please use your ENTER key now and then to enter line-breakes at suitable intervalls to get a nice and readable text. Now, Since you're adding a LNK file, MPLAB/MPASM expects a source file written using "relocatable code". You're code isn't. First try to simply remove the LNK file from your project. Or add the CODE and other stuff to your source to make it a true reloctable source file. Regards, Jan-Erik. PS. Are you aure that you're not usinf the 16F84A processor ?

I am using MPLAB 7.43 (what I downloaded from the Microchip web site) an installed it on my computer which runs Windows XP.
