I am not sure on this, but because you say that your vfp tables use underlines for leading spaces and decimals, that sounds like vfp treats that field as a character field not a numberic. But, SQL server is going to send it as a numeric. And the form is getting confused. You may need to deside if it is numeric or character and treat it as such.
hope this info helps you.
