Correct. IBO will accept Now as a Default because Delphi supports its own Now function. If you must apply a client-side default in preference to a server-side one, about all you can do is intercept the input to your insert statements in the BeforePost handler and calculate the current time. It would be a lot simpler just to apply an 'IF NULL' Before Insert trigger on the server.

Note that CURRENT_TIME is only available in Dialect 3, otherwise you would need to use a UDF.
