ReadOnly is a data attribute.

I don't think so....see comments below.

Joined sets are always read-only. This is the nature of things with
SQL - it has nothing to do with what IBO (or any other data access
interface) might do from version to version.

In IBO It is possible to make the set "updatable" by providing
XxxxSQL properties for the dataset AND valid KeyLinks or, in some
cases, to make fields in one table of this set updatable by setting a
KeyRelation property and setting RequestLive true.

Therefore, if the same set was updatable previously, check that you
have set up all of these properties appropriately before you open the set.

However, for this query, the join (and all of its complications) is
quite unnecessary. Take out the join and replace it with a
correlated subquery on POSTCODES. Also fix up your WHERE clause. It
needs a table qualifier on PERSON_ID.

Now, all that said, there appears to be a bug in a method in
ib_components.pas in the latest subrelease of IBO that might be
playing a part in the behaviour difference you are seeing. However,
try fixing up things as I have suggested. Bug or no bug, you still
need to make this right. Test whether it changes things and report back.
