Thanks for the reply. I never thought of doing tach = (b1*100)+(b2*10)+b3 and this will work perfect! The problem is that the numbers are coming over a wireless link and I am having trouble sending word variables. I know these are byte variables but it is only an example. Anyhow, the variables are not going to an LCD display. This is a great temporary solution until I can find out how to send word variables over a wireless link.

Thanks!
