Hi, I have a small home network with a 4 port router and wireless, on one of

the wired ports is a network drive (K:) also accessible over the internet. I

want to install the database to the network drive so all computers can use

the BCM database. Please advise if this is possible and where to find out how

to do it. The standard install puts all items onto the C: drive without

giving the option to store elsewhere.

Thanks
 
When setting up BCM You are given the option to select the db, so given that

you would just browse to and select the db at its location.

I have to say however I've never done this and as such dont know the

consequences of such action or its interaction with outlook on the

individual PC's, or maybe you have any pst's stored on the network, which is

an unsupported by MS configeration (Corruption issues)

Assuming it's the current BCM, the database must be a Microsoft SQL

Server installation, not just a file. It is possible to use an MS SQL

Server running on a different computer. I haven't seen any evidence of

anyone running it on a third-party SQL server.
