Thanks for the replies.
The old program I need (want) is called Accpac Plus Accounting. I've had it
for about 20+ years and have several different businesses accounting data on
it. The program is expensive and I never liked the newer versions that much
so I continue to use the old one.
I think I will give the XP Mode a try as much to learn about it and then
maybe run the accounting program too.
Thanks again.

I've never used it, I've never had the need to bring old programs forward to
keep them alive. I'd suggest before you do it, do a little research and see
if they have modern programs that can handle what you need, sourceforge has
tons of free apps for windows. This is my first stop when I'm looking for
an app. I've stopped buying things like nero in favor of
smaller/lighter/faster apps like imageburn. Ask here, there may be someone
that has found a solution to one of your old DOS based programs to run for
the future.

Thanks. Any comments about XP Mode? Does it usually work well? Worth the
trouble?

I can't say for sure, but after running both pro 7 and xp in the past I
can't imagine it would be over 20 gigs or so when you are done.

Professional version and XP mode will eat up from my computer with the Home
Premium that I have now.
Thanks
