I just installed rapidSQL 8.0.1 and tried connecting to a valid database. I'm fairly certain I have the right connection data (it was imported from another developer), but I'm getting the following error:
db2abind.dll Cannot be loaded! That will severely impact use of this application. Please restore the missing library.
I have created a ticket with Embarcadero, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and have a solution.
So this was being caused by the fact that I didn't have a DB2 client installed on my machine. I chose a light db2 client from among the many(!) available at IBM, and it got me past this issue.

The above link was a good resource on understanding what was going on with IBM clients and DB2 connectivity.
