Henry,
You don't say how you query values. I said do query like this :
mSometime = AllTimeSlots.app_time

Probably instead you're doing :
mSomeTime = val(thisform.mycombo.Value)

Val() adds the decimal places (based on set decimal)
If combo is not Bound (bound=.f. default) and column has numeric values then what you get back is Listindex not the value in that column. Set bound=.t.
