>> Still no go. I did a KB search just now, and found a doc saying that the Z format function does not work for VFP 'Get' (I think I had seen this before, and that's why didn't try too much in the past to use this format). Anyway, if you have something working, can you explain a little more how to use it? I'm using bound numeric variables, as you describe.

Well, this looks like something to postpone our concern about until we try VFP 5, perhaps it has been corrected...
