DB Express / Delphi 7 did not support MySQL 5 so you'll need a copy of the open source MySQL 5 drivers for DB Express (Found here).

You should also ensure that the libmysql.dll assembly is installed and can be found in your PATH variable. If you need to find it again, it can be found in the MySQL5.X zip distribution in lib\opt

Try to put libmysql.dll to your lib path. If this doesn't help, than get another version of libmysql.dll file.

Delphi 7 is shipped with mysql 3.x drivers. What you need is something for mysql 5. You can find one here, Follow the instructions on how to add new dbexpress driver in the documentation
