To use an IBL for lighting and an EnvSphere for reflections with or without IDL, you should have the EnvSphere Properties Visible On, Casts shadows Off, Light Emitter Off, Visible in Raytracing On.
To switch from IBL as lighting to IDL+EnvSphere as lighting, enable IDL, then EnvSphere Property Light Emitter to On.
If IDL is turned off, nothing you do will make the EnvSphere cast the light - it will come from IBL.
The most important thing is that the EnvSphere should not cast a shadow. That makes it block light from infinite lights.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
