If this is the PK defined in IB, IBO should detect it.

Did you set RequestLive to True?
I also expect that the record could disappear once posted, since it doesn't
meet the filter (the WHERE clause).

Usually, with an empty dataset, when you type information, it's interpreted
as an insertion. Have you tried
dataset.insert;
and then typing, just to see what happens?
