Thanks Brian. Dunno how Virtualbox deals with the Registry question - it may not be an issue. If it is, the guest OS isn't installed, just loaded as an image, so there shouldn't be significant time or irritation in keeping two or more copies.

There will be a problem with the Windows Registry entry however. The default version of Legacy for opening .fdb files will be the LAST version/copy installed. Only one entry for Legacy will be created in the Windows Registry and it is the entry from the last legacy install which will exist that tells windows to open .fdb files. I am presuming that virtualbox will create a virtual machine with Windows XP installed on it and that you want to install both Version 6.0 and 7.5 of Legacy on that virtual machine. if you are creating two virtual machines with Windows XP installed on each then you will not have the problem with the registry entries I describe above since each virtual machine will have its own windows registry.
