What version of IBO are you using?

Ideally you should not use a UTF8 database unless you are using Delphi 2009
or higher, but in the above case I think the Assign() method shouldn't have
an error. Perhaps you can provide me a sample app to look at if this problem
is still in the latest version of IBO.

I have released IBO 4.9.14 Build 14 as of August 11, 2011.
I think I neglected to announce this release.
