I see someone has already answered this - yes you can use IP with IBO,
using the TDataset stuff. However if you are looking for reasons not
to go with IP, we would need to know what the reasons are for wanting
to use IP.

That is; If you want IP for some of the advanced grid display
capabilities - then I dont think that the IB_Grid component will ever
match.

If you just want better mask processing you may like to take a look at
my EnhComponents (www.telesiscomputing.com.au/enhcomp.htm :-)

Basically the same way the VCL does it. Create the IBO BPLs without
debug information in it - and place a copy of the BPLs in your search
path. In your application projects do NOT put the IBO source directory
in the debug source path.
