Just don't quite understand it... (sorry I'm thick ! - care to actually explain how I would do this " Aliases " ... where it is shown how to " slice " your values thing ?)

Ok Malc ...

let's make it easy :

The last PBP2.60 Version has introduced a Qualifier that permits you NOT to care with slicing your variables ...
so, if you own a v2.60 ( and You SHOULD ) ... the link you gave me becomes ... obsolete.

as you, NOW, just have to write:

WRITE Location, Word AlarmHigh[1] , Word AlarmHigh[2] , Word AlarmHigh[3] ,...

READ Location, Word AlarmHigh[1], Word AlarmHigh[2] , Word AlarmHigh[3], WA[1],WA[2],WA[3]

BUT remember a word need 2 EEPROM locations ... so,

WRITE Location +6 , Word AlarmHigh[4]
READ Location +6 , Word AlarmHigh[4] ,WA4

PS: of course, you can keep on using the " old method "

WRITE Location, AlarmHigh[1].Lowbyte
WRITE Location+1, AlarmHigh[1].Highbyte
WRITE Location+2, AlarmHigh[2].Lowbyte
WRITE Location+3, AlarmHigh[2].Highbyte
WRITE Location+4, AlarmHigh[3].Lowbyte
WRITE Location+5, AlarmHigh[3].Highbyte
WRITE Location+6, AlarmHigh[4].Lowbyte
WRITE Location+7, AlarmHigh[4].Highbyte

... but, is it really reasonnable ???
