I am getting further on this - COUNT as a field name is giving a problem. I use
it in FastReport which is working fine as an IBO4 version, but it uses ' " '
around field names internally, so gets confused when the field name already has
quotes arround it, as in the case of COUNT being converted to "COUNT", and then
it refuses to see it.

I have tracked the problem with ordering - just rebuild the ordering links using
the inline designer. That took out 'ITEM=' and the ;POS=0 entries - I know there
was a reason they were there, but they seem to upset IBO4. Selection is now
working fine, but no colours? ColorScheme = true on IB_Query and
IgnoreColorScheme = false on Grid. Anything else - as it was working?

I am now going to try and find where my grids are going to !
