Theprogramfiles should as a standard always install to C:\Program files\Brother's keeper 6 The databasen (your personal data can be klocated whatever you wish but recomend C:\Brother's Keeper 6\Data Thank you Otto, The problem is on all the computers I have the BK Programme on the other computers as: C:\Program files\Brother's keeper 6 with the data folders below the program, I know I can change my Win 7 one but then I would need to change the dada folders and path on the other XP computers. That is why I wondered if using the XP Mode on the Win 7 machine would save me having to change them all. Thanks again, Mick.

Running in XP mode only changes how the program runs not where the data is stored. Another option, but I think is overkill, is to use Virtual PC where you are creating a PC within a PC. In other words you would be creating a virtual XP PC with its own virtual drives. Probably would create new problems unless you are a computer geek like me.
