By default, the BCM database is located in the local disk documents file.
Can this database be moved?

FYI, the link below is legit. It points to another thread on this discussion

Thank you for the response. I followed the link and this is how it was
addressed:

Q: I have a local database that I want to move to a server and hence share
it with my colleagues

A: You should use Admin Tool to achieve this.

....the "Admin Tool" (which I assume is the Business Contact Manager for
Outlook 2007 Database Tool) allows you to: Create a new database, Share a
database, Backup a database or Restore a database.

Move a database was not an option.

Am I to backup the database and restore it in the desired location? Is that
even possible? So far, BCM has been pretty stringent in terms of being able
to choose the location for the database.

I see 2 scenario's
1] You want to move your database to an other workstation running outlook
BCM
2] You want to move the database to a server

For 1 --> backup the database, move the backupfile to other client, restore
database
For 2 --> backup database, install a database on your server, using the tool
I pointed you to in your august 31 post this group, connect your client to
th eserver database, restore databse
