i never use Button statement. I prefer to use IF THEN or While Wend statement




TRISA=255
TRISB=0

IF PORTA.0 then ' if push button on PORTA.0 is pressed
PORTB.0=1 ' set PORTB.0 to 1
while PORTA.0 ' wait untill push button is release
wend
pause 50 ' debounce delay
endif

Be sure you refer to the great PIN... what your PIN statement refer to? Use the pin name make your code more readable or use alias



PushButton1 var PORTA.0

if PushButton1 then
' do something here
endif
