Why are you using TIntegerField components with something that a float field
is preferred for?

The BDE stuff had a bug where with InterBase that it would declare a
TIntegerField for a NUMERIC( 9, 2 ) column. This was an error then so I
wonder if this is a carry over from that?

If you are using persistent fields then you simply should change them to
TIBOFloatField components.

If you are using persistent fields the change in IBO that made it prefer BCD
over float should not have affected you. IBO knows how to resolve float and
BCD to all of the underlying column types.

You shouldn't have to. I'm making this as flexible as possible. Things
should have been fine if QR didn't throw this awful curve at us.

Another factor that can have a play is what version of Delphi you are using.
The VCL has changed over the years in these regards.
