First....)

Either I've lost the plot and cannot see the obvious, or I've got a
duff build or something. The code below works if I index into the
columns. It returns the correct column if I use FindParam, but
ParamByName fails to return a column:

pCur->SQL->Text = "Select USER_ID from USERS where
USER_NAME=:USER_NAME and PW=:PW";

pCur->Prepare();
//pCur->Params->Columns[0]->AsString = sUser; // Works

TIB_Column * pCol = IB_Cursor1->FindParam( "USER_NAME");
if ( pCol )
{
ShowMessage("found"); // It finds the column
}

pCur->ParamByName("USER_NAME")->AsString = sUser; // Fails


This is using BCb2006 and IBOv4.8.7. Am i missing something obvious here?
