A bug is causing this problem. On Feb 12 Geoff Worboys posted this:
-------------------------------------
There is still a bug in IBO4.2.Fr (arrived in IBO4.2.Fp)...

In IB_Dataset.IMP...

procedure TIB_Dataset.KeyToChildAction( AAction: TIB_KeyChildAction;
Info: longint );
<...>
ADataset.Prepare;
//TIB_Row( Info ).Values[ tmpVals ] :=
// TIB_BDataset( ADataset ).Lookup(
// tmpKeyVals,
// TIB_Row( Info ).Values[ tmpKeyFlds ], tmpFlds );
TIB_Row( Info ).Values[ tmpVals ] :=
TIB_BDataset( ADataset ).Lookup(
tmpKeyFlds,
TIB_Row( Info ).Values[ tmpKeyVals ], tmpFlds );
<...>
end;

It is just that the tmpKeyFlds and tmpKeyVals were reversed in the
call the Lookup.

If you have the source, you could fix it yourself. If not, and it is a showstopper, you could revert to 4.2Fn until Jason returns and can fix up the source and eval packs.

If you can't wait, contact me privately.
