the pic will automaticaly transmit the numbers in BCD.... even mel uses just regular numbers... and the missing month value is just a typing error, it is infact in my program.

a direct quote from the DS1307 datasheet:

"After the DS1307 acknowledges the slave address + write bit, the master transmits a word address to the DS1307."

WORD address

as fror the schematic... it's connected in the same fassion as the typical operating citcuit in the datasheet with 4k7 pullups... the Square wawe pin is just left hanging as i'm not using it.

please stop telling me to do my own work... the questions i ask are simply what i cant find myself so i'm calling upon the expertese of other people. if you dont know how to solve my problem then just say so.
