True. IBO doesn't call WSAStartup, the FbClient does.

It sounds almost as if the database connection is not being made before the
datasets are opened. Take a look at the CreationOrder and make sure that
the IBODatabase gets created before the query objects.

Are you doing this in your FormCreate?

inherited;
with IBODatabase do
if not Connected then Connect;

Also check to make sure the client has the server name and the proper
static IP address in the HOSTS file.

This is off-topic for IBO, except that, if you post the IBODatabase
definition from the DFM file, along with the two offending queries, we
might be able to work out whether you are missing some property.
