Here's the difference:

BDE:

object JediMDB: TDatabase
AliasName = 'Jedi'
DatabaseName = 'Jedi'
LoginPrompt = False
Params.Strings = (
'USER NAME=SYSDBA'
'PASSWORD=masterkey')
SessionName = 'Default'
Left = 16
Top = 8
end

TIBO:

object JediMDB: TIBODatabase
DatabaseName = 'Jedi'
Params.Strings = (
'PATH=F:\jedi\root\gdb\jedi.gdb'
'USER NAME=SYSDBA'
'PASSWORD=masterkey')
Left = 16
Top = 8
end

It does - once you get past the BDE Alias. :))

You should be able to just open the form that contains the TIBODatabase,
view it as text and change the strings.
