Query expression builder returns text instead of numeric



When I build a simple expression in a querry based on two other fields, both
numeric, the result is a text/Date value. e.g., Expr1: [Value]+[Commission]
When I try to Format the field in Properties no formats are available and
the Input Mask is for Text?date.

I have even tried to force format to numeric and also used the FormatNumber
function in the expresion builder, but to no avail.
