Jeff,
Done. Now I can open BD. When I do a BACKUP what should the backup file be? c:\program files\ then what?

Great! You can back your database up to any place you like. Preferably another hard drive on your system in case the drive with your main database should fail.
BD will only backup to local hard drives. So if you have two, e.g. C: and D:, and your main database is on C:, then backup to D:\BD-backups\database_bck.mdb, for example.
If you do not have to local hard drives on your system (CDroms and ZIP drives don't count), then back it up to your local drive, e.g. c:\program files\birders diary\data\database_bck.mdb, for example, and then move that file "database_bck.mdb" off to CDrom.
Let me know if I can assist further,
