It doesn't on my system. I have IBX installed.

Here is the dfm for a new project I just set up:

object Form1: TForm1
Left = 278
Top = 137
Width = 696
Height = 480
Caption = 'Form1'
Color = clBtnFace
Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
Font.Color = clWindowText
Font.Height = -11
Font.Name = 'MS Sans Serif'
Font.Style = []
OldCreateOrder = False
PixelsPerInch = 96
TextHeight = 13
object IBODatabase1: TIBODatabase
Params.Strings = (
'PATH=e:\ibo\testdb\test.gdb'
'USER NAME=SYSDBA')
Left = 56
Top = 40
end
object IBOQuery1: TIBOQuery
Params = <>
Active = True
DatabaseName = 'e:\ibo\testdb\test.gdb'
IB_Connection = IBODatabase1
RecordCountAccurate = True
SQL.Strings = (
'select * from members')
Left = 136
Top = 40
object IBOQuery1NAMECODE: TStringField
FieldName = 'NAMECODE'
Required = True
Size = 15
end
object IBOQuery1FIRSTNAME: TStringField
FieldName = 'FIRSTNAME'
end
object IBOQuery1SURNAME: TStringField
FieldName = 'SURNAME'
Size = 25
end
object IBOQuery1EMAIL: TStringField
FieldName = 'EMAIL'
Size = 75
end
object IBOQuery1EMAIL2: TStringField
FieldName = 'EMAIL2'
Size = 75
end
object IBOQuery1COUNTRY: TStringField
FieldName = 'COUNTRY'
Required = True
Size = 2
end
object IBOQuery1GMTOFFSET: TStringField
FieldName = 'GMTOFFSET'
Size = 3
end
object IBOQuery1STATUS: TStringField
FieldName = 'STATUS'
Size = 10
end
object IBOQuery1ICQ: TStringField
FieldName = 'ICQ'
Size = 10
end
object IBOQuery1URL: TStringField
FieldName = 'URL'
Size = 75
end
object IBOQuery1HOMEPHONE: TStringField
FieldName = 'HOMEPHONE'
Size = 18
end
object IBOQuery1WORKPHONE: TStringField
FieldName = 'WORKPHONE'
Size = 18
end
object IBOQuery1SPECIALSKILLS: TBlobField
FieldName = 'SPECIALSKILLS'
BlobType = ftBlob
Size = 8
end
object IBOQuery1UPDATEDBY: TStringField
FieldName = 'UPDATEDBY'
Size = 15
end
object IBOQuery1LASTUPDATE: TDateTimeField
FieldName = 'LASTUPDATE'
end
object IBOQuery1FULLNAMEPLUS: TStringField
FieldName = 'FULLNAMEPLUS'
ReadOnly = True
Size = 80
end
end
end

All I can think is that you originally set your datasets up as IBQuery by mistake.
