Which error message? We can't readily help you understand the error message if you don't tell us what it is? There are a large number of possible problems. Can you access the psy database via DB-Access; if not, you need to fix that before trying to resolve the problems with fglschema. I'd strongly recommend running 'fglschema psy' rather than running the schema.42e executable directly. >Could someone please help me out there?

It certainly is fundamental, and until you have fglschema working, you cannot use D4GL for much. Did the installation complete successfully?
