If you use FB fbclient.dll library - rename it to gds32.dll library or see
IB_Session511.pas for example.

1) In run time

var IBC:TIB_Connection;
//---- minimal example code
IBC.Database:='servername:/database_path/database.fdb'; // path to FB
database
IBC.CharSet:='WIN1251'; // connection char set (can be NONE)
IBC.Username:='SYSDBA';
IBC.Password:='masterkey';
IBC.LoginPrompt:=False; // if true - Connection Dialog will be showed
IBC.Connect;

2) In design time - left click on TIB_Connection component and setup all
options in component editor dialog.
