The Datasets property of TIB_Transaction is an array of
TIB_Dataset. TIBOQuery is not a TIB_Dataset descendent, so your loop
won't touch it (though it does touch its InternalDataset, which *is*
a TIB_Dataset). To reach the TDataset-descendent DAOs you'll need to
go through the Components array of the container object, testing for
Components[i]=TIBOQuery and operating on TIBOQuery(Components[i]).
