16f1824 MCLR pin going low causes PIC to reset - what am I missing?

A shot in the dark, but what if you add
_LVP_OFF
to config_2

"A long shot....but it might just work" (as they say in the movies), and whaddayaknow.....

BINGO!

with _LVP_OFF ....no resetee, ....*but* without that _CONFIG2 entry, my 16f1824 resets every time RA3 goes low.


So Mr Mackrackit ...choose any cuddly toy from the top shelf!

How bizarre - many thanks, it would have taken me a few weeks to get that one! (& it's just come flooding back why I took a break from these puppies in the first place - ie. somtimes they're *way* obtuse!)


Thanks for *everyone's* input!
