First - Thanks, Jim Booth for the referral to the UT Library.
This situation has been with me since dBase days. When it showed up in FoxBase, I figured it was something I had to tell users to live with ... that is the way it is!
No more!
If, when creating a new record with insert into (and this may be true of append), give each numeric field a specific value (i.e. 0.00) rather than assume that it will be properly filled in if you don't mention a value (or in the case of append memvar, the variable has not been defined).
Doing this eliminated the problem for me. It's only been 18 years to come up with this --- just a little longer than my average. ;-)
