In all cases I get the same error and the table isn't updated.

Could it be that Fox crammed a larger value, by removing decimals? It's a known artefact of xBase that it will just push the decimals out to accomodate a larger value... for instance, if you have a N(5,2) and try to store a 2999.50 into it, it will be stored as "2999.5" regardless of its two-decimal (though in my case, when I tried it in VFP9,

CREATE CURSOR nn (n n(5,2))
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE n WITH 2999.5
?n

returned 3000 (so it did some rounding up). Just try inserting values like 99.55, -99.52 etc to see how Fox behaves here.

So, check not just the width of your view's field, but the actual number that's in it.
