Hi all! Thanks for your swift help!
It came down to the following:
1. Make sure that all the points are geocoded (yes, they were)
2. Make sure that StartX and StartY are declared as floats (yes,
they were)
3. Use the "alias" variable
Dim TabAlias as alias
TabAlias = Tablename + ".obj"
StartX = CentroidX(TabAlias)
StartY = CentroidY(TabAlias)
Things are running smoothly. Thanks again!

Subject: MI-L MB - CentroidX argument
I am having trouble figuring out how to use a user-defined file name with
the CentroidX() and CentroidY() functions.
In the following code, tablename is the user-defined file (declared as a
global string variable).
fetch rec i from tablename
startX = centroidX(tablename.obj)
startY = centroidY(tablename.obj)
The error message is: "Found [.] while searching for [ ) ]"
If the code is changed to:
fetch rec i from tablename
startX = centroidX(tablename)
startY = centroidY(tablename)
It compiles, but does not run in MapInfo. The following error occurs:
"CentroidX argument 1 has invalid type"
What am I missing? There must be a way to do this.
TIA,
Dara Thompson
