Your method is how I currently work.

All of my queries/cursors have the IB_Connection and the DatabaseName
property set (I assume the datbasename gets filled in
automatically). I assume this is ok, provided the IB_Connection
property is filled.

One query: Why do I have to set the connection for both the
transaction and the query? If a query's IB_Connection property is
set to <default> does this use the transaction's connection?

Just implemented, thanks.
