David, I searched the Microchip website using 'oerr' and came up with this;

http://support2.microchip.com/KBSearch/KB_StdProb.aspx?ID=SQ6UJ9A001VPG

 From memory (no pun intended) RCREG is a FIFO so you might want to read 
it several times to ensure it's clear
(as per my previous posted code).

Regards,

Nigel
