Sorry, I'm a bit lost. Can you post an updated schematic of what the circuit looks like now as well as the code you're using? If it is too big to fit the text, then simply save the PICAXE file and add .txt after the .bas and post as an attachment.
How are you coding the reset function in the code? Or are you using my code? If you're trying to reset the program altogether, you'll have to remove power to the PICAXE. Some of the more expensive PICAXE's have a dedicated reset pin, but the one you're using doesn't. You could simply wire a N.C. switch inline with either the 24VDC supply or the 5VDC line. If you do this, put the switch on the + lead, not the GND lead.
