Default Link table field format puzzle

I have one issue that doesn't make sense. Maybe some expert could help.

I have one table in MS SQL (2005), there are two fields.

GrossCost Numeric(15,2)
NetCost Numeric(15,2)

When I did an ODBC link table inside MS Access XP, the format of the two
fields are different. For example, GrossCost will show 16.00 and NetCost will
show 16 I open the link table in design view and find out the GrossCost's
[format] property are set to 'Fixed' while the NetCost's [format] property
are blank. Why Access treat the two fields differently if they have exact the
same format on SQL side? Anywhere I can setup on the MS SQL side to affect
the [format] property on Access side?

Thanks for any insights!
