That seems to suggest that it's not a matter of wrong controls, but one or
more of the following:

You have a "regular" query but RequestLive is set False.

You have no KeyLinks set for the dataset.

You have a query which is (by database rules) non-updatable and you have
not supplied statements to the InsertSQL, EditSQL and DeleteSQL properties.

And, now that you are using TDataset-compatible stuff, you might still have
a TIB_Datasource in the mix - needs to be replaced with TDatasource.

Aside from resolving your updating problem, may I suggest that, if using
TIBOTable (ughhh!) and InfoPower controls, you replace the IB_Connection
and IB_Transaction with a TIBODatabase? If/when you need additional
transactions, you can add TIBOTransaction (not TIB_Transaction) objects.
