Thank All

i have got it to compile now.
Darrel Taylor hit the nail on the head .
I pointed to it as he describe below andit worked
================================================== ====
In MCS, go to the View | Compile and Program Options | Assembler Tab

Click the Find Manually ... button and point it to
C:\program files\microchip\mpasm suite
===========================================
i thinkit was trying to use the mpasm that came with Microcode studio

Thanks a million
Isaac
