ok try this, sorry i can't test the code for the Moment.

'simple X-center script
Sub Main()

    'do the X- probe 
    Message ("probe X- ")
    Code "G31 X-100 F150"

        x = GetOEMDRO(800) 'X actpos
        If x <= -100 Then
            DoOEMButton(1003) 'Stop too far no probe hit
            MsgBox ("Probe X- canceled , no probe hit!" )
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Wend           

	'get the exact probepos
	ProbeXNeg = GetVar(2000)

	'clear the probe
	Code "G91 X2 F150"
    While IsMoving()

That's a Mach3 internal message that the probe input is active when the probe move is called.
Make sure your probe is wired and working properly. Look at the LED on the diagnostics page. The LED should be off, and come on when the probe is triggered.

Everything is good with the probe Gerry, it works great on all other probing routines.

We are certainly getting closer my friend, It now probes X- no problem, touches off, then starts to go X+, as soon as it touches the X+ I get the warning again.

Sorry for being a pain in the a** guys.

Ok buddy, this is what I am getting now.

Start probing routine and the first move is X- After touching off on X- , it starts to go X+ , and after touching off, it now retracts 2mm, and the X dro now updates to read 0.000

I am completely baffled by all this.

Still the same I'm afraid ! On one attempt it done the X- no problem and then when it touched off on X+ it backed off 2mm, moved Y+ 2mm and the dro then updated to X 0.000 Y2.000

Are you using a parallel port, or a motion controller? Many motion controllers don't work properly with the GetVAR commands. Especially the Chinese controllers.

I'm using a genuine UC300 USB controller, and as I said before, every other probing routine works perfectly, in both Mach3 and UCCNC, it's just this "finding the centre in X" move that's got me beat !
