OK, but we can't guess it for you, either. :-(

Some troubleshooting suggestions:

1. Trying to mix TDataset-compatible (TIBO) and native IBO (TIB_)
components without understanding their differences could give rise to
problems. If you are trying link a TIB_Query to a TDatasource, TIBOTable
to a TIB_Datasource and grid, etc. A TIB_Query with select * from aTable
will not substitute for a TIBOTable if you are using VCL controls.

2. You drop a TIB_MonitorDialog on your DM or form and add a button or a
FormCreate call to its Show method, and try to find out what SQL is trying
to cross the wire. If anything confuses you, copy/paste the relevant
monitor snippet to the list to see if anyone else can make sense of it.

3. You carefully check your code and/or DFM file to find out if you have
inadvertently included any IBX components in your test app. IBX comp names
all start with TIB, without hyphens.
(The IBX TIBService... components *can* coexist in the same app with IBO,
but not the data access).
