It's a while since I tinkered with IBX but, as I recall, you are supposed to enable "live" behaviour on a read-only dataset in IBX by putting appropriate statements into the InsertSQL, ModifySQL and DeleteSQL properties. If you open the SQL editor on these properties, IBX is supposed to create a default DML statement for you. At around v. 4.2 beta, this worked reliably only in the TIBDataset class.

This list isn't a Delphi list. It sounds as if it would be helpful for you to join the Borland newsgroup for IBX users...and you might find you will get more satisfactory behaviour from a later beta version - I think they are up to beta 4.4 now. You can get the beta releases and the release notes from CodeCentral.
