I have been programming a 18F26K20 with no problem. Decided to try the READ button, takes a few but finishes with "Read Complete". But where is the read file stored ?
PICit 3 V3.55 MPLAB IPE
I see the check sum, but no file.

I also use MPLAB IPE to read the memory. It shows up in a small box at the bottom.
There is sometimes a problem with newer chips that have "read protect" set by default. It's in the datasheet how to remove this protect.
As Anobium says you then go to "file - export" to save the contents of memory.

Thanks guys,
Here is what I had to do to read a chip (18F26K20) that I had already programed some time ago.
Go to SETTINGS
1) Advanced Mode
2) Production Mode
3) Check Box "Allow Export Mode

And Microchip wonder why the users hate MPLAB X :)
PICKit2 with the opensource Firmware and App were perfect, functional and intuative.
Microchip Tools have gone down hill ever since.

I get highly frustrated with MPLAB (all versions!). I'm currently usingthe stand alone MPLAB IPE to burn the .hex files created by GCB into my processors. I can't get the GCB PicKit support to work under WINE on my iMac. For programming the chips I find that IPE works well enough, even if it is rather confusing at times.

When you READ.. IPE has the program in memory of your computer. You need to save to a file.
Not sure why you are using IPE. I thought the Great Cow BASIC version of the Pickit3 software supported that chip.

Aw Chris,
It's not THAT bad.
It took me less than 5 months to figure out how to program a chip using MPLAB X .
:)
MPLAB X - Based on NetBeans created by Has Beens...........
