It seems though that it might connect to MySQL but it cmplains that it can't find this file. I did a search of my hardrive and found about 20 copies! all in different locations of course. one is even in the system32 directory. One in the Mysql directory where i run Local host using Apache. Where can I put it so Delphi 6 will find it? Thanks, Paul Back to top Jan Doggen Guest Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2004 2:06 pm    Post subject: Re: delphi 6 can't find libMySQL.dll System32 would be the most apprpriate place. 1) Is it registered? regsvr32 libmysql 2) Is it in dbxdrivers.ini? (Borland Shareddbexpress) Look in MySQL docs how to do this Bye Jan "Paul" <paul-1 (AT) handleys (DOT) us> schreef in bericht news:413aff50$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

The dll has to be within the search path... either the same place as the executable or one of the classic directories (System for example).

I don't normally use a password for Mysql because I just use it to develop, but I went ahead and chose a password using Phpmyadmin thinging that maybe Delphi insists on one but it didn't help. Just for the heck of it I tried to register it as Jan uggested. it did fail but I got this msg "libmysql.dll was loaded but doesn't appear to be a dll or ocx file" Thanks, Paul Cristian Nicola wrote: Quote: libmysql.dll "implements" an API so doesnt need to be registered (eg the registration would fail).

Delphi 6 will probably not recognize anything beyond MySQL version 3.23.58. The is a beta experimental driver for version 4.01 on the Delphi codecentral pages. Try an older version of MySQL, say 3.23.49 with your out-of-the-box D6 and I think you'll find it just works. -paladin "Paul" <paul-1 (AT) handleys (DOT) us> wrote Quote: Well I saw a similar problem earlier after I had posted, so I put my libmysql.dll file in the same folder as my executable and it still says that it can't load libMsql.dll.

I'm using MySQL 3.23.47. I can't connect with any type of database with dbexpress. I have managed to connect with ADO. Paul paladin wrote: Quote: Paul, No one asked you about MySQL version so I will.
