It hasn't been implemented in IBO, and I don't know if Jason will
implement it.

Yes, I do a refresh. If I would have the TIB_Query.FetchWholeRows
property set to False, I use the method TIB_Query.RefreshKeys(it will
only refetch the row keys and not the whole row), otherwise I use
TIB_Query.Refresh.

In a multi-user environment, it's almost a requirement to refetch the
rows(although IBO does have methods already implemented to fetch the
added/deleted/modified rows as needed, by invalidating the buffer).
Otherwise, how would you know if someone else has inserted, modified
or deleted a row, if your result set buffer is only synchronized with
your changes. Do keep in mind that changes to a table is not
automatically pushed onto the client, you have to go fetch them. And,
when opening/refreshing a query, IBO only fetches the rows that you
currently need and not all the rows, unless you specifically request
them. Read IBO's help for TIB_Query, you'll find some information on
the different methods that exists on how to refresh the rows/buffer of
a query, you'll see that some of the methods are there just to refresh
the buffered rows.
