this occurs if the underlying data is of type character, not numeric. Try this out:

PUBLIC oform1

oform1=NEWOBJECT("form1")
oform1.Show
RETURN


	**************************************************
*-- Form:         form1 (c:\temp\form2.scx)
*-- ParentClass:  form
*-- BaseClass:    form
*-- Time Stamp:   08/12/05 09:16:13 AM
*
DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form


	DoCreate = .T.
	Caption = "Form1"
	Name = "Form1"


	ADD OBJECT text1 AS textbox WITH ;
		Alignment = 3, ;
		Value = 0, ;
		Height = 23, ;
		InputMask = "999.9", ;
		Left = 80, ;
		Top = 44, ;
		Width = 100, ;
		Name = "Text1"


ENDDEFINE
*
*-- EndDefine: form1
**************************************************

then change this line: Value = 0 to Value = "" and you will see the difference.
