Hans,
Your examples so far showed you using TIB_Query.

If you are in fact using TIBO*, then you are using VCL controls and the Delphi Help will provide the clues, e.g.

LoadMemo [method of TDBMemo] loads the text BLOB from the field in the database into the memo control.

procedure LoadMemo; virtual;

Description

LoadMemo allows an application to control when the memo control displays the actual contents of a text BLOB field. Use LoadMemo to update the text in the memo control to the value of the field in the current record. LoadMemo only works with text BLOB fields, when the AutoDisplay property is False, so that the value of the field is not loaded automatically.

rgds,
Helen
