Re: TIBQuery2.Assign(TIBQuery1) doesn't work

Post a follow-up to this message

"Assign" in VCL does a number of differnet things - some of them which are not at all obvoius. I would expect that Query1.Assign(Query2) to generate an error. If not, I'd be *really* curious to see what the outcome of such an operation would be.
The most probable would be an attempt to assign field values from Query2 to Query1, or maybe setting the input parameters if such existed.

To achieve what you want, try TClipboard.SetComponent/GetComponent.
