    @Paul27  In short, go to File > New to create a new data file. Every data file is completely separate. Name one file Mom, one file Business and one file Personal -- or whatever would help you keep them straight. (Depending on the nature of your business and what you want to track in Quicken, it may be better to have it in a separate file or it may be better to have in one file with your personal finances.)
