Yes, I agree even moving from native IBO to the TDataset based stuff would
be less than ideal but I'm sure you will agree if he was going to stop using
native IBO that it would be much easier to move to IBO for TDataset than
back to IBX.

It's also not known the level of proficiency the previous programmer had.
Hopefully things are pretty clean and simple. Most IBO apps should be that
way if you know what you are doing. That could also make it easier to take
the IBO app for granted if all that it can do for you is not readily
apparent in the application code.
