Eduardo,

That is the result fo a numeric overflow, either the textbox is not wide enough or the field was updated with data that exceeded the set length. It alos occurs when you are totally a numeric and the mask isn't long enough to display the entire number as in;

Number = 1,250,250,250.50
Mask = 9,999,999.99
Result = *,***,***.**

Make sure the mask is long enough for the longest number that will ever appear in the field. If it is a summing field in the report then the mask will likely be longer than the size of the field in the table.
