Moving the databases from their default location can get a little tricky. We do not recommend moving them. Instead, we have created a knowledgebase article on how to create a scheduled task to copy the database files to a network file server to be backed up from that server.

 

If you still wish to move the databases, please follow these instructions logged in as a local administrator:

  1. Close any Televor Software applications
  2. Move the data files to your desired network location.  The default location for the database is: C:\Program Files\Televor Software\[YOUR EDITION HERE]\Data.  Move the entire contents of the "Data" folder to the folder of your choice.  Note: Make sure the user that will be using the software has read/write permissions to the new location.
  3. Open the Windows Control Panel
  4. Open the BDE Administrator applet
  5. Browse to the edition of the software you moving (ex. KIMS POLICE K-9 TRAINER), and left-click on it
  6. Click on "Path" in the left pane of the BDE Administrator
  7. Click on the ... icon to the right of the "Path" field.  This will open a window to allow you to browse to the new file location
  8. Click the OK button to select the new location
  9. On the toolbar of the BDE Administrator, click the "Apply" button to apply the changes you just made.
  10. Close the BDE Administrator, and run the software as you normally would.

Note: Depending on your network connection to the new location, performance may be degraded due to network usage and bandwidth.
