Previously the Asymptotic Normalization Coefficient (ANC) method was used to find the S_17-factor through the proton transfer reaction ^14N(^7Be,^8B)^13C. In order to check our normalization of the reaction cross section, the measurement was repeated at the Cyclotron Institute, Texas A University, using a ^7Be beam produced in the Momentum Achromat Recoil Spectrometer (MARS) and a melamine target. We improved the monitoring of the secondary beam intensity and extended the angular range for the elastic scattering measurement. This provides a better optical model potential. These improvements coupled with the new calculated value for the ^8B ANCs mixing ratio of the p_1/2 and p_3/2 orbitals give C^2_p_3/2+ C^2_p_1/2=0.455±0.047 fm -1, which increases the previously reported S_17 value by about 6% to S_17(0)=18.0 ±1.8 eV b. Details will be discussed and the new results will be presented.
