Error: "Cannot load IDAPI service library"

Question:

I receive a "Cannot load Idapi service library" error.  

How do I resolve this?

Answer:

This general IDAPI startup error can occur for a number of 

reasons.  In the context of a multi-tier application, you

should be sure that STDVCL32.DLL and DBCLIENT.DLL are

registered on the server.  Also, make sure that you have 

IDPROV32.DLL in the BDE directory.
