Is it possible to change the location for a shared bcm 2007 database.

Currently have sbs 2003 with sql 2005.

default db location on server is:

c:\documentsandsettings\currentuser\localsettings\applicationdata\microsoft\business contactmanager\

Is it possible to change this to another drive and than share is with sql?

Yes. But you will have to do that yourself with Sql tools. I don't
think BCM provides a mechanism for changing the database file's
location. As long as the database is available through the regular
interfaces (ADO), BCM doesn't really care where the database files
are, although they do some extra work in places like Setup to ensure
that the sql service has permission to access the database in the
default folder.

You can use the Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager: Database Admin
Tool, available for download.
