In playing with it in the past, I have found that it works slightly differently on a development machine than on a client machine. But check the following.
 
1. Database driver dll is in project directory
2. Midas.dll is in the client directory... (not entirely sure if required, best practice or licensing issues...).
3. dbxconnection.ini and dbxdriver.ini file in the project directory also.
 
You will find that if running on your dev machine that it will load the connection and driver files from the borland common files/dbexpress directory from memory... so thats a bit of a gotcha.

Have you tried putting the database driver dll in your project directory ?

Subject: [DUG] remote MySQL via dbExpress

Hi all, due to mail server difficulties I have not received any responses (or even my earlier post) about connecting to MySQL (if there were any). But I've had a go at configuring a connection to MySQL. When ever I try to establish the connection I get an eDatabaseError "Unable to Load libmySQL.dll". I do have MySQL loaded locally on my machine.
 
I've configured the bdExpress control as follows:
 
  object SQLConnection1: TSQLConnection
    ConnectionName = 'MSConnection'
    DriverName = 'MYSQL'
    GetDriverFunc = 'getSQLDriverMYSQL'
    LibraryName = 'dbexpmys.dll'
    Params.Strings = (
      'BlobSize=-1'
      'Database=myDBname'
      'DriverName=MYSQL'
      'ErrorResourceFile='
      'HostName=mtsl.co.nz'
      'LocaleCode=0000'
      'Password=mypassword'
      'User_Name=myusername')
    VendorLib = 'libmySQL.dll'
    Left = 144
    Top = 40
  end
 
Any tips anyone?
 
Cheers,
Phil.
