Found it.  TDS seems to have a problem with numeric fields.

>From the SQL 7.0 books online:

        decimal and numeric
        decimal
          Fixed precision and scale numeric data from -10^38 -1 through 10^38 
-1.
        numeric
          A synonym for decimal.

a convert(char(10),field) works, but is less than ideal.
