Is this for the AXE033 module ( serial or I2C ), a parallel connected LCD or some other LCD module ?

As I understand it, the LCD shift commands cause the entire display to be shifted so it's not simple to scroll just one line that way. The easiest way is to just rewrite the line you want shifted but starting from a different first character. That way it has all the appearences of just one line being shifted.

the lcd is seria, not worried about whole screen shifting.

anyways while i am here i have another question, while the LCD is connected to the 28 esperimenter board through a bread board it works fine but when i conect it to my project it does nothing, i will do some more indepth checks but cant find an a reason at the mo

What voltage are you running it at? Most LCD's like a good 5 volts (especially if they are backlit). If you have used 3 x AA batteries in series this will only give you about 4.5-4.8 volts depending on how fresh they are.

It's just three wires!!!
Power, PICAXE output pin and 0v.
There should not be anything else on the PICAXE pin.
LCD is a 10k load. PICAXE has enough current to run ~50 of them!
