Hi all

I'm still learning how to use PBP - after using only assembly.

I can't seem to get the compile and program feature to work - (or program only for that matter). What I end up doing is compile in PBP, then exit, and import and program the hex file using PICKit directly. That works fine. When I try to use Compile and Program, MCS searches for the PICKit , but does not seem to find it - it just stops and does not program. The proper device is selected - in this case a 16f870. The PICKit is plugged in to the USB port, and the chip is inserted into the programming socket.
From the Compile and Program Option, I have PICKit selected as the default programmer.

I'm missing something simple - please help.
