That is quite likely, since the default transaction is created when it is
needed and simply may not be available at the time you refer to it.

If you are using TIBODatabase, there is one transaction built in and you
refer to it through properrties of the IBODatabase object. If you are
using TIB_Connection instead, drop a TIBOTransaction or TIB_Transaction
into your datamodule and select it as the DefaultTransaction property for
the IB_Connection.

Also set the IB_Connection property of your IBOTable - then IBO will take
care of the DatabaseName property, and you will not get the situation where
the TIBOTable creates its own internal transaction.
