I have tried this, but to no avail. There were only minor differences between the two and all shared properties are now set the same. The TIBOQuery still take 6-8 seconds to open after the TIB_Database connection has been reset. Note: After the initial opening of the TIBOQuery, subsequent openings are instantaneous. This issue is only with the first time the query is opened.

I can use a TDatabase and TwwQuery (InfoPower) to run the same query and there is no lag time upon initial opening of the query. This is also true of a TIB_Database and TIB_Query. The only time a lag in speed is detected is upon initial opening of the SQL query with a TIBOQuery component...

I have looked into this. I will try to get this running. The code hasn't been updated for several years...
