Hi, Brian
As Malc gently tells ...
I am totally unable to understand what you are talking about... as long as your project is " top secret classified " !!! 
Could you provide a piece of program with config part, and enough to understand what you try to do ... ???
I only suppose the " MCP23S17 " secret code appears somewhere ...
Could this help ??? http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...951&pagenumber=
Ok ... once more Darrel has striken here ... http://www.pbpgroup.com/modules/wfse...p?articleid=10

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!
