I use TIB_ myself and don't know much about TIBO, but loading defaultvalues
does sound as if GetServerDefaults is set to true.

Well, cursors are unidirectional, and most users prefer to scroll up as
well as down in a grid...

For me, probably not much (I normally do only basic stuff). For you -
definitely! If I remember correctly (impression from other news groups),
you are the kind of programmer who digs deep, and utilizes whatever tool
you use to the utmost of its capasity. Once you get the hang of it, you
will love IBO, it's power and "simplicity" (once you know what you are
doing). E.g. the getting started guide does show you how to easily drop a
TIB_LookupCombo onto a grid, something which I suspect is considerably more
difficult if you use TIBO.
