• The most common problem is selecting the path, because the 64 bit version as well as 32 bit version both has the same name.

In such cases you have to make sure that C:Program FilesEmbarcaderoRAD Studio9.0bin; comes before C:Program FilesEmbarcaderoRAD Studio9.0bin64.
• The SQL server should be properly installed. You should also check that dbxmss.dll and dbxmss9.dll are properly installed. Due to some reasons both MSSQL and MSSQL9 uses dbxmss.dll file. Due to this reason also you may get DBX error.
