Qt contains plugins to communicate with the database. The are called sql drivers. You should at least install the driver for the database you use in your program.

Hi Thanks for the reply.

For the computer that is running Qt and deploying the exe, I already have QODBC driver plugin built. The program works perfectly fine and is able to connect to the database. However, for the computer that doesn't have Qt installed, it no longer works.
Thanks

Last try:

Did you install the driver also on the computer that doesn't have Qt installed?
If not, do so! And place it in the correct folder.

Thanks a lot!

Turns out I wasn't placing the driver in the correct folder.
BTW is there a way to do it so that when you build the .exe, it includes the necessary .dlls.
