Tom,
The helpfile uses Time2Help, which uses the inheritance model of Delphi to build component help. So you are going to find the help (generally) in the base classes.

In short, the native IBO properties and methods will be found in the native data access objects' entries - look around TIB_Statement, TIB_Dataset, TIB_BDataset. There is not a way to duplicate the properties, etc. up the hierarchy tree - even if it was desirable (the help file is already huge!)

The green Hierarchy button on the help file toolbar is handy.

For properties inherited from the native VCL, you need to look in the Delphi help.

regards,
Helen
