Guy's my copy of Reloader's reference started way back in 2007 and I had to add patches to expand the program and enable updates etc..
Requirements for the program are MS Access.. A full copy. Starting about Windows 8 and Office 2013 even if it came installed on your new pc or not you had to create a Microsoft account in the cloud and then it would update and would let you have a fully functional Access.. I think that was my root cause problem in migrating it forward to my newer laptops. I hadn't created the Microsoft account. Didn't want to..
So Try it out for yourselves and I will post some links that may or may not help you.. to start go here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/reloadersrfrnce/files/Reloaders_ Reference/
And down load 9.3x74r - Final and do the install.
If it will won't run you may have to do this to give yourself permissions to open it..

"I have recieved some messages from users having trouble running this package on Vista. Vista's default security settings will not allow users to change
files in the \program files path. This is what creates the problems.
1. be patient with the install, it is slow, but will complete even on vista.
2. follow the instructions below to change the permissions on the Reloaders Reference folder
to allow user writes to the files.
1.) Open c:\program files and right click the Reloaders Reference folder.
Note: on x64 systems this will be the Program Files (x86) folder.
2.) Choose properties from the drop down menu.
3.) On the properties tab, choose security.
4.) On the security tab, click the advanced button at the bottom of the tab.
5.) In the advanced tab, click users in the list, then edit.
6.) In the permissions dialog, click the Allow box on the top line (Full Control) then click ok.
7.) When it returns to the Advanced tab, check the replace all existing box at the bottom of the tab and click ok.
8.) Click ok again to return to the security screen.
9.) Click users in the top window and look at the permissions in the bottom portion, full control should now be checked.
10.) Click ok to close the security dialog.
RR should now run without the read-only or linking problems.
Or perhaps you may need to run it in Compatibility mode for XP if so follow this link and give this a try.

Once open and a file created to store your saved copy into, Go ahead and if necessary install the other manuals one by one. This step may not be needed here in the final version but it's what I had to do for the patches. This is all the firearms owners manuals and Targets compiled.
On mine there is a little tab in the upper left hand corner once the program is open called custom tabs.. Thats the Gold mine..
I hope this helps because that's about all I know about how to do the install.
Oh yea all user entered data is stored in the CoreData.mdb file so simply copying it to another location would in essence create a backup.
