SQL Queries to Paradox or dBase files

I am still in the learning stages of Intrabuilder as an application and am
having serious problems with using SQL queries in any of my test
applications.  The problems appear when I use the WHERE clause of a SELECT
statement.  On simple Paradox / dBase tables, SQL statements such as:

  SELECT * FROM "PassTabl.db"

return the entire table, as it should.  However, once I change this to the
following:

  SELECT * FROM "PassTabl.db" WHERE ("GroupID" = '12345')

only an empty set is returned.  The contents of "PassTabl.db" are as
follows:

GroupID (Alpha-10)	Passwd (Alpha-10)
12345			ABC
98765			ABC2
34567			ABC

The Select statement above to me seems like it would logically work.  I
have thought that perhaps Intrabuilder doesn't like "=" on an Alpha field. 
So, I modified the statement to:

  SELECT * FROM "PassTabl.db" WHERE ("GroupID" LIKE '%12345%')

Still no result.  I've also attempted to change the ' to ", and vice versa
with no luck.  I receive no errors, whether Intrabuilder, JavaScript or
BDE.  I simply receive no result sets.  I have also attempted to create
other tables, both in dBase and Paradox, like the example in Intrabuilder's
FAQ #153.  They too resulted in an empty result set.

It appears that once I add the "WHERE" clause, SQL searches cease to
function.

Any ideas????
