The Contact Wolf database can be located in any folder locationTo change the location of the Database CWdb240.mdb

 
1) Select :  File ->Change Database Location
 
2) Navigate to the new folder location in the navigation window and click once on the folder to select it as the destination folder.
 
3) Click OK to accept the changes
 
NOTE: If the Contact Wolf database file CWdb240.mdb was not in the selected folder it will be copied from its source location into the destination folder and registered in its new location. If the CWdb240.mdb database already existed in the destination folder only the database registration will change so that the new location of the database will be accessed in the future.
 
 

TIP:

We recommend that if the database location is changed to not select the "Program Files" folder or any sub folder of it as the new database folder since Operating Systems like Vista and Windows 7 can sometimes create access problems in these locations.
