Edison,
If your insert, update and deletes simply work with the fields in the
current row of the select, you don't need to use the InsertSQL, EditSQL and
DeleteSQL strings at all - IBO will construct them automatically when you post.

If you have custom statements to perform any of these operations, that is
when you use the xxxxxSQL properties.

Always with IBO, you need to have correct KeyLinks for your datasets. If
the dataset is unusual (e.g. a join, or doesn't contain the primary key)
it's safest to set them yourself. If the primary key is in the dataset and
is unique, you can just set KeylinksAutodefine to True.

Set the RequestLive property to True.

In all cases, all you have to do is call the Insert, Edit or Delete
method. In the case of custom SQL, e.g. calling a stored procedure, you
may need to pass input parameters yourself. However, if the parameter
names of the xxxxSQL statements match the field names of the dataset, IBO
will take care of these, too.
