Gee Wiz I'm having a tough time with this, but I think I'm starting to make progress. Thanks to you and other's for the heads up on the "Text...EndText" I'll be spending some time playing with that. Here is my current code:

m.nConnectionHandle = SQLCONNECT('TimeClockPlus')
cCostCode = '11708'

TEXT TO lcCmd NOSHOW PRETEXT 15

select cast(dbo.EmployeeHours.EmployeeId as TinyInt) as EmployeeID,
	EmployeeHours.TimeOut,
	ROUND(DATEPART(hour,TimeOut)+CEILING(CAST(DATEPART(Minute,TimeOut) as decimal)/60 * 100)/100,2) As Decout,
	CEILING(CAST(DATEPART(Minute,TimeOut) as decimal)/60 * 100)/100 as TestField
from EmployeeHours
where CostCode = ?cCostCode

ENDTEXT 

? SQLPREPARE(m.nConnectionHandle,lcCmd,'QueryName')
?? SQLEXEC(m.nConnectionHandle)

BROWSE LAST NOWAIT

*SQLDISCONNECT(m.nConnectionHandle)

I'll continue down this frustrating road (for me anyway). Keep you eyes peeled for further white flags flailing violently :)
