Your approach is not that bad. Do you have a primary key on the table? If
yes, then why not try something like this:

TIBOTable.Locate('PRIMARYKEY',
VarArrayOf([TIB_Query.FieldByName(''PRIMARYKEY_VALUE).AsXXX]), [])

Instead of trying to use bookmarks to position on the record after using
TIB_Query and TIB_IncSearch. I've used this approach before and still
using it when I can't use native IBO components for the interface. I have
to admit it's not as fast as just using TIB_Query and TIB_IncSearch alone,
but you have to remember that you are doing extra steps to achieve your goal.
