The purpose of AutoEdit and AutoInsert is to control the behaviour when
focus goes to a grid row or data-aware control when the dataset is
editabable. They do not determine whether or not the dataset is
editable. If you set RequestLive to False, the dataset is not editable.

If you must have the dataset read-only but you want to allow rows to be
inserted to or updated on the underlying table, you will have to design an
interface for it, using a separate, parameterised executable statement,
typically a TIB_DSQL. You will have to provide TIB_ParamEdits (if
appropriate) and/or unbound entry fields for the user. You will have to
pick up any values wanted from the read-only dataset and/or from the
unbound controls yourself.

On the other hand, if you want to use the original dataset, you can set
varying degrees of "editablity" at field level, using the FieldsReadOnly
property. Study the help for details of the syntax.
