What version of filePro are you using? Since you are getting an error on the 
license file, I would suspect that you're using a version that uses the 
license file.  Perhaps the fp directory isn't on PATH, and therefore you 
need to either be in the fp directory, or give the path on the command line, 
such as:

     c:\fpodbc\fp\licinfo c:/fpodbc/fp/lib/licfp.dat
