Helen,
Thanks for your reply. I have seen that TIBOQuery descends from TDataSet.
However I was aiming at TIB_Query because the TIBOQuery components may not
be that efficient and are only supplied for compatibility. You think there
is no performance penalty when using the TIBO Components ?

Thanks,

Bert

If you are using TIBOQuery, you are working with a TDataset descendant. All
the methods and properties of TDataset are available. Instantiate the Field
Objects just as in the native VCL, by right-clicking on the iboquery to
display the Fields Editor, then right-click on that display and select Add
All Fields. You will notice that the Required property is present, along
with all the others you are used to.

regards,
Helen
