>When I set an InputMask for a character field, e.g., to "###.##", the behavior is not what I expect from a numeric field. Can I force the field to behave like a numeric (for instance, if the user types ".", he will automatically go beyond the decimal point), or do I need a different approach (I was thinking of using an unbound TextBox, and setting a value)?

Try setting the value of the textbox to 0 (zero) or any number. And I would set the input mask to "999.99" (not #s).
