Thanks Henrick,

Sure is prettier than my code . As far as the BCD in a byte, yep, pretty much it. It can be any Hex digit in there. So, I just need to make sure each nibble in the byte is a number, not a letter. I'll give your code a shot in a bit. I'll have to intentionally read from the wrong address to make a go of it. On another quick note, would you have a quick and easy, down and dirty way to "flip" the 2 hex characters around? ie: HEX59 becomes HEX95. One of the panels I am working on stores its codes "backwards". Sneaky 'lil buggers. I need to flip 'em so I can display them on the lcd. I've got a routine working now, the low nibble - high nibble way, but just wondering if there was a better way?

Thanks again,
Chris
