Ti Dac 7553

I've got a big one here. I can't get the TI DAC output to change. Here is my test code:
INTCON = %00000000 ' Enable TMR0 interrupts
INTCON2 = %10000000 ' ENABLES PORTB PULL UPS
'T0CON = %11010101 ' ENABLES TM0 AND SET PRESCALER
RCON = %00000000 ' IPEN RCON.7 INTERUPT PRIORITY LEVEL DISABLED
ADCON0 = %00000000 ' ATOD CH 4 CONVERTER ENABLED
ADCON1 = %01111111 ' All digital = 01111111
ADCON2 = %10000110 ' RIGHT JUST RESULT 0 TAD FOSC/64
OSCCON = %01101101 '

VOUTB VAR WORD

LOOP:
toggle porta.7
voutb = %0011010111111011
HIGH PORTB.5
PAUSEUS 2
low portb.5
shiftout portb.3,portb.2,5,[voutb\16]
HIGH PORTB.5
PAUSEUS 2
low portb.5
pause 1
shiftout portb.3,portb.2,5,[voutb\16]
HIGH PORTB.5
PAUSEUS 2
low portb.5
HIGH PORTA.0
PAUSE 5
LOW PORTA.0
pause 5
goto loop
END

PIC is running fine. 4 MHz internal clock right on time. Getting good bit stream and clock pulse.
Problem. I cannot get pin 18 PortA.7 to toggle or respond to HIGH or LOW pin commands. I tied on a pull up resistor, now it will not go low. Either way the DAC isn't listening. Just stays at mid scale so long as the CLR not pin is low.

Here is the schematic

Here is the spec sheet on the DAC

Sorry for the hodge podge

you may have to set port a.7 to output,
just use .......
high portA.7 .......early-on

I had it set to XT instead of INTRC. I had to set it in the configuration programmer menu drop down though. I thought I had it set correctly in the code. Oh well I'll start working on getting the DAC to respond now. I'll post any problems I encounter.

VOUTB = 1000xxxxxxxxxxxx
