I recommend that you use the TDataset stuff initially to get the conversion
completed. Then, once you are comfortable with the TDataset flavor of IBO
you can start transitioning to the native IBO components and controls.

Lookup stuff is done differently in the native IBO strain than the TDataset
stuff.

A good place to get a jump on learning the native IBO way of doing things is
to get the Getting Started Guide I now am offering for sale. I had to charge
for it cause it costed quite a bit to have it produced and so far I have
received very positive feedback about it.
