I wasn't saying this wouldn't work. What I was saying is that they cannot be
persistent like they are with the TDataset having them fixed there. Set's
suggestion was excellent!

With IBO here's how it can work:

Prepare of statement gives new TIB_Column objects for both params and
fields. A reprepare such as is produced when InvalidateSQL and Refresh is
called (also search mode, filter changes, etc.) will regenerate new params
objects but not the field column objects. Please keep that in mind...
