I loaded Superflight Planner because building FPs in FSX is so cumbersome and time consuming. After loading the program it needs to scan the FSX database to build its own. The issue is that it will not load it. The program just sits there and does nothing at all.
Any ideas?

Yeah - ditch SFP and get FSCommander or FSBuild...my personal preference is FSCommander

The evaluation copy is fully functional with the restriction that the program will automatically terminate after a period of 35 minutes and that flight plans cannot be saved.

The route plotter is great for just that...plotting. FSCommander does so much more - moving map, real time VATSIM updates, ATC updates, integration of flight plans with FS9, FSX, and pretty much all payware planes.

I have looked at FSCommander last night. You are correct it seems to do a lot. One question, how do you integrate your route into FSX? I build a plan from KCVG (CINN) to Reagan National and it really affored me a lot of choices. But how do I get the route into the FSX GPS? Or can I without manually going into the FSX route plotter and serching for each NAVAID?
Thanks for your help.

TI'm not at home but you would choose SAVE FLIGHT AS option and direct it to your MY DOCs FSX folder...then you can load it inti your plane.

Got It!!!, If I use FSCommander to plot the route with the SIDs and STARs then copy and paste the route waypoints into DVA Route Plotter then I can save from DVA to FSX and it works great!! I do plan to purchase the full ver. of FSCommender but for now this will get me by. Thanks to both of you for your help.
