In my case I use this code snipped:

sl:=TStringList.Create;
sl.add('CTL.Auftrag.IB_Edit53='+nummer);
// CTL - fix ; Auftrag - FormName; IB_Edit53 - Name of TIB_control
ib_query1.ReadSearch(sl);
ib_query1.Search;
ib_query1.Post;

BTW, I had to look into my sources, too :)

Mit freundlichem Gruss & Best Regards
