Did you specify a server name an a database name for the connection ?

Syntax is 'ServerName:DatabaseName'.

For example, to connect to the database 'd:\some path\my database' on
server 'tower' with the TIB_Connection 'Connection', you must
specify :

Connection.DatabaseName := 'tower:d:\some path\my database';
