I will give that a try when I get home this afternoon.

I have tried Define LCD_DBIT 0 with the same results. But will set it back to this when I try it again.

Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. I'll let you know how it goes.

Use 0 if your four data lines are RA0-RA3
Use 4 if your four data lines are RA4-RA7 (but this will not work as noted above)

If you still have issues, you might want to post a schematic and the rest of your code (if there is more) - more and better info usually means more and better help

Good Luck

Thanks for the help.. It is up and working. Don't really know what happened. The code looks the same except for:

DEFINE LCD_LINES 2
ANSEL = %00000000

and:

Define LCD_DBIT 0

I had tried the LCD_DBIT 0 before but no help.. And ANSEL =%00000000. So maybe the LCD_LINES 2... I did not think that made a difference. But I greatly appreciate the help. It made me look at things and I did learn some more.
