From this description I am supposing that the focus has not moved to a
data-aware control on Form1 (after closing Form2), so the updatebar
has not had any notification that it needs to change datasources.

You can manually force the change of focus using IB_Session. Access
IB_Session via any of the ibo components (TIB_Query, TIB_Transaction
etc) as IB_Query1.IB_Session. See the online help for TIB_Session,
the various Focused* properties.
