>The problem is this, I have used the debugger to confirm that the function returns values with decimals, like 524.56, BUT the amount that ends up in the "howmuch" field from the AS part of the SELECT statement is 525, not 524.56. So, how do I maintain the decimals when I get the value from a function called within a SELECT statement?

You have to tell SQL parser what the format will your column use... like this:

SELECT table.fieldone, table.fieldthree, table.fieldthree,;
00000000000.00+GetAmount(table.duedate) AS howmuch ;
FROM table ;
INTO CURSOR cTemp

This should give you a N(14,2) in the howmuch column.
