Plan-G "stuck" on initial screen.

I installed the latest version of Plan-G on a Windows 10 laptop (as a client), to work with my P3Dv4 on my desktop.  Plan-G opened up on its initial screen asking to update the database.  I entered the paths to P3D and it seemed to connect as I could see familiar sceneries being added and received no error message at the end.  That's as far as I get.

All other options are still grayed out so I cannot connect to my P3D PC.  After further reading the forums here I installed Plan-G on my Desktop (which I might add runs great from there but oddly it did not ask to build a database?), and exported the data to a file which I then imported on my laptop.  But still cannot get out of the initial build database screen.  Attached is my log file.  Maybe you can point where I am going wrong?  Thanks.

You're trying to build a database across a network. That's a no-no, because the scenery.cfg will contain many relative file references that your laptop will not be able to resolve. Always install another copy of Plan-G on your sim PC, build the database there, and copy it over to your laptop (copy the entire Plan-G Files\Data folder). There is no export/import equivalent to this.

Thanks for the clarification.  I was assuming one "exported" the data as opposed to copying it over.  It now works fine!
