Thank you for your response:

The problem I'm having is joining the entire Highbyte of the Word variable with the 2 MSB's of the Lowbyte to form my 10 Bits.

I know I need to concatenate the bits together,but I am getting a bit frustrated by this...If you or anyone else can show me the coding syntax for this operation I would appreciate it.

The concatenated bits will be placed in a word variable .

Down and out
Bob C.
