Hello microcnc05,
First off 4 line LCDs are really 2 line Lcds which are laid out thusly
Line 1 & Line 3 are line 1
Line 2 & line 4 are line 2. Just FYI
Try moving the E bit off PortA.4 I believe that is the MCLR pin with open collector see if that works, quick test anyway.
If so you might be able to use it with a pull up. I always ground pins 3 & 5 unless you really want to hassle using a contrast control or really need to read what is on the display.
Edit: I do not see any config statements, so you undoubtedly are using the default configs, do you know what they are ? Do you know how they are set as default ? Do you know where they are ? If the answer to any of those questions is no then goto this link: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=543

If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
