    Hi,
    Any chance the powersupply voltage used to simulate the inputs are higher than Vdd of the chip? That might (depending on how much higher it is) forward bias the clamping diode on the input, increasing the current going into the pin.

    Code:
    TRISB		= %11110000			‘B.0 – B.3 inputs, rest outputs.

    Your TrisB setting is wrong. To have B0 - B3 as inputs then the TrisB should be the other way around

    TrisB = %00001111

    Cheers

    Al nailed it, the way "I" keep those straight is 0 looks like the letter O for output
    and 1 looks like the uppercase letter I for Input, works for me anyway.

    Default Input Pins - Low Impedance

    Thanks everyone. I feel very foolish. My only excuse is that its quite a while since I have been near a uP.

    NEVER feel foolish about asking a question, for every poster who has the guts to ask there are many who do not and have the same question, so on their behalf, thanks for asking!
