Wrong datalinking, unfortunately. TIBO* data access components need
TDatasource datalinking and link through to VCL and other
TDatasource-compatible controls. As I explained in the second message,
they are not compatible with the TIB_Datasource and the TIB_*
controls. Please re-read the paragraph beginning "They are two different
sets of components."

The other thing you have to do, of course, is open the connection and the
datasets explicitly at run-time.
