Jason,

Thank you for your interest in this matter. I have been doing some more
testing and evaluation over the past few days and I am having other
afterScroll and also recordCount problems where IBO does not
give the same functionality as the BDE.

I have multiple TIBOQuery components connected to DBGrids which use the
afterScroll event to update Label captions indicating information about the
current row to the user. I use this technique extensively throughout my
application and so it is very important to me. Under the BDE when I open
or scroll a TQuery an afterScroll event is fired. I then test the passed
TDataSet object using the .isEmpty method to see if any rows are available
and from this I can clear the labels or update from the data in the current
row. I notice that if I open a TIBOQuery which has an empty result
set the afterScroll event does not fire ?, so my user interface is broken
(the Label captions contain information from the previous afterScroll
event).

I also use recordCount extensively, my users like to know how many records
there are and they are used to accurate information. I use a parameterized
TIBOQuery with >= :startstamp and <= :finishstamp input parameters.
The first time I open the query the recordCount is correct, but if I close
the query, change the parameter values and reopen the query the
recordCount stays the same ?. Experimentation gives me a correct
recordCount each time I change the parameters if I unprepare
and then prepare the IBOQuery (very inefficient) or if I use the IBOQuery.
InvalidateSQL method. (I noticed two gentlemen from Denmark discussing
the recordCount problem earlier this evening, this may help them).

I have recently upgraded from Interbase 5 to IB V6.1 (SQLDialect 1) and I
wish to leverage maximum functionality and performance from this
implementation. The application I am converting is too large and
complicated for a straight BDE -> IBO BDE replacement -> pure IBO
conversion.
Although converting to IB Objects has fixed some nasty problems
(which could not be fixed under the BDE) I now find myself confounded once
again.

Of course, it is possible that I am using poor coding style, or I
misunderstand the correct usage of the IBO functionality.
If this is so please correct me immediately, but I need to get
away from the BDE with the minimum fuss as possible.

If I can provide further evidence or examples to support these problems then
please do not hesitate to let me know as I am prepared to do my very best
to resolve them.

Environment notes:-
IBO evaluation version 3.6
InterBase (Fire Bird) 6.1
Delphi 5 Professional
Win 98

Very best regards

William.
