IB_StoredProc has an EditSQL property - perhaps this is what you are
referring to. This property is only valid for a selectable SP (which is a
dataset) - not valid for one that has to be executed.

You actually don't need to use data-aware controls for this task. You can
use regular TDateTimePicker and TEdit components when collecting parameters
supplied by the user. It's very small work to assign the parameters in the
BeforeExecute event...

Yes. Use a TIB_Datasource (not a TDatasource) which you connect to the
IB_StoredProc. Type the name of the parameter into the ParamName property
to convert the control into a parameter input control and leave the
Datafield property BLANK. Make sure that the storedproc is prepared at the
time the user enters the parameter, otherwise it won't work.

If you are using IB 6, then it has a bug with stored procedures, where you
need to prepare an executable stored proc EVERY time before you assign new
values to parameters and call Execute. (I've gotten so used to using
Firebird, I had forgotten about this.)
