The error report you are seeing is not a general, fundamental error but is
specific to the exact text you are setting in the SQL property. It also
sounds like the error is related to your client code, not specific to
Interbase.

For example, from the above I can see that the "=: firstID" should be
changed to "= :firstID" (remove the space after the colon). Could it be
that you have been inconsistent with your typing?
