   I am having similar problems just trying to write a simple querry for
a dBASE database (.dbf)  My select statement says:
SELECT ANNTY_EE + ANNTY_EARN TOT_ANNUITY FROM PAYROLL

When I run this querry, however, Visual dBASE truncates to zero decimals
in the resulting field TOT_ANNUITY even though the ANNTY_EE and
ANNTY_EARN fields are numeric fields with 2 decimals.....

How can we get proper querries now that QBE has been cut??????????
