I find myself with two locations of data (C:\BK6\DATA\, and D:\). They seem to be identical, and I don't understand if I have done something wrong. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium. Where is the preferred location for my data. John Engle

To John Engle When you start BK6, does the bottom of the main screen say C:\BK6\DATA That would be better than just D:\ If you have a copy at D:\ perhaps you did a Backup to that drive at one time.
