    From what you have explained, here is something that should work:

    Code:
    Full_Word var Word
Low_Byte  var Full_Word.lowbyte
High_Byte Var Full_Word.Highbyte

'First Nibble
High_Byte = (PortD & %00001111)
High_Byte = High_Byte << 4
'Second Nibble
High_Byte = High_Byte + (PortD & %00001111)
'Third Nibble
Low_Byte = (PortD & %00001111)
Low_Byte = Low_Byte << 4
'Forth Nibble
Low_Byte = Low_Byte + (PortD & %00001111)
'Full_Word now has the 16 bit result of 4 Nibbles
    HTH,
    Steve

    [i]EDIT: just changed port, since I miss read original post and used B instead of D
