Thanks Darrel and Steve. No change. I did the online update yesterday for MicroCode Studio Plus, and I updated MPLAB. However after reading Darrel's reply I looked and found that it was using MPASM 3.x! I manually set it to use 5.06.4 (MPLAB is version 7.51) I found the error in the .lst file, but I don't know enough assembler to tell anything except that nowhere can I find an spbrgh register mentioned. If I am reading the datasheet correctly, when I enable the 16 bit baudrate generator I should have to set spbrgh (High byte) = 1, and spbrg (Low byte) = 56. I got these values from Steve's calculator program, which has never led me wrong! I did see on Bruce's website that PBP version 2.47 has some kind of fix for 18f devices to use spbrgh, so I think I'll give MELABS a call and inquire. I don't mind spending the money for the upgrade, I just hate waiting a week for UPS! Just as an after thought, did either of you verify that you were actually sending out serial at 38400? I can get it to compile fine using Skimask's suggestion, but the output is not 38400, even though there are no errors.
Thanks again!

Jerry.
