I will post what I found here.

There is an issue with getting a RecordCount when using DISTINCT in
the SQL statement of a TIB_Dataset.

Essentially if the user uses the following syntax for thier distinct
statement the RecordCount fails.

SELECT DISTINCT(MyField) FROM MyTable

You will get the error that there is a closed parens at the end of
the CountSQL statement. There is nothing wrong with the above
syntax when using DISTINCT.

Essentially if you put a space after the DISTINCT keyword the
problem goes away, but if there wasn't a space the error occurs.

Also you cannot strip off the Parens because it would kill the
following.

SELECT DISTINCT(Max(MyField)) FROM MyTable

I thought I fixed this by just stripping the close paren off the
end, but then it brings up another error of the user placed a space
after the DISTINCE.
Unfortunately I could not invest anymore time to correct the issue.
However I know the problem is in this location.

Unit - IB_Parse
procedure - MakeCountSQL
