1 set of "books" = 1 data file. They mean the same thing; it's just a 
different way of expressing it.

So you can have many reports and/or many budgets, all within one set of 
books (meaning all within your 1 data file).

So when you open a data file, you are opening that particular set of 
books. You can have multiple sets of books - one for personal, one for 
the business, etc. Each set of books will be a single data file.

That help any?
