We wound up having to create a separate class for encryption and put value_assign there and not use it on the original class because places where read-only views are specified into those textbox controls, it was thinking the data had changed and was generating the error 2072 -- Cursor cannot be modified because it contains an unsaved record.

I have used Assign and Access indirectly with the value field. I created a new property on my textbox class for numeric values (Amount) with the Access and Assign methods. These would set or query the Value for a numeric. The Assign would format the display Value property based on number of decimals, comma separator, and monetary symbol. The Access method would strip the formatting and return a numeric value from the Value property. This has worked without any problems.
