Can't tell from the info provided. However...

Don't scrap the prepared SQL for each execution. Do this at the beginning:

with ModData.dsql_AnyUse do
begin
SQL.Clear; // this invalidates the entire statement so do it only once
SQl.Add('UPDATE Filters SET Filter_in_ToolBar = 1 ');
SQL.Add('WHERE Filter_ID = :filterid');
Prepare;
end;

Then, in BeforeExecute do this:
with ModData.dsql_AnyUse do
begin
if not Prepared then Prepare; // probably not needed but doesn't hurt
ParamByName('filterid').AsInteger := NodeData.ID;
end;

Then, just call Execute when you're ready, presumably during some kind of loop where you are walking through your NodeData set. Call Commit if you want to commit each execution one-by-one; or you can wait until the NodeData loop finishes.
