Can you show the exact code instead? I would guess, that the precision for the field is smaller than needed, e.g the field is, say, 4 digits, instead of 5 or 6.

You may also use a different field name for your sum and force number of digits with this trick (since CAST function doesn't exist in VFP6):

select sum(myField + 0000000.00) as MyNewField...
