TIBTable for dummies - where is it?!
lazarus / 16-Databases

I am new to Interbase express and I am new to Lazarus.
What is old, this is my Firebird-Database.
In my old Delphi program there was a Frame and on the frame there were
some DB-items and a table. When I clicked on active, the content of
the table showed.

This I wanted to repeat in Lazaraus (2.2.) and IBExpress (2.5.).
Lazarus offered me not to generate a Frame, but a DBModule. Not sure,
if this was my first mistake.

However on this DBModul I made my table.  I clicked it to "active", 
was asked for SYSDBA and masterkey and a SQL-query. Looked good, no
error message. I even saw, that my table found the field-names.

So everything looks perfect, besides the clou: There does not show up
any table.
What must I do to bring my data VISIBLE into my frame?

thank you for your reply.
This ends up by ".... not used in project".

When I added a TDBTable in Delphi, there appeared an item looking like
an Excel Sheet.
The TIBTable looks like an invisible component.

And usually there appear visual items by hitting F 12 in Frames.
There must be wrong a very obvious and easy thing, but which?

Ok, i never use Frames embedded in Designtime, because there is no
automatisch refresh of the frame. I use Frames only at runtime.
