Peter,
You overlooked the changes to login security in TIB_Connection and the database components. Please read about the PasswordStorage property (in the Component Help or search for it in the online FAQ). To simulate the old default behaviour when username and password are supplied by the application, change the setting to psNotSecure.

Helen
