Thanks Skimask and everyone else who has helped me. I appreciate you trying to teach me by giving pointers, but this has been a rough one I am by no means a quitter, thought about it though, especially through the last couple of post. I am laughing now. Everything seems fine. I can pressed the button now portb 1-4 are momentary and stay on as long as I am pressing then go off when I release them. Every once in awhile one will stay on and I'll press the button and release it and that output will clear. Thanks again to all
