Install? Not that I know of.

But you can change all the paths after installation. For the non-database files it's under Tools -> Options -> File Folders.

As for the database itself: It depends on in which state your database is. Does it already have entries? Do you have a backup and want to restore it on a new machine?

As you correctly said, per default it's in the My Documents\Databases\Default folder.

When DVDP is closed you could simply move that folder in Explorer. The re-open DVDP and it will create a new empty database. Then you can point to your moved database via File -> Open Database

Or you can easily create a duplicate of your database in a folder of your liking via File -> Open Database -> New Database -> Copy the current database.

If your DB is still empty, you can simply create a new one in a folder of your liking via File -> Open Database and then restore a backup via File -> Restore Database.

Windows is only squamish about the C: drive, where you shouldn't put your data anyway. It doesn't really care if you put your data on D: or F: or G:

I'm starting to run out of space on my C: drive so I think I might try and move my database to the D: drive. I have backup(s) so don't worry.

Maybe you should thnk about moving your entire My Documents folder to a different drive.

I always thought that this was the main reason for splitting a HDD into separate partitions.

The software lets you choose where to install it - like most other software.

But it installs the default user files in the user My Documents folder (where they belong according to Microsoft philosophy) - like most other software.

Thanks for the information. I am really surprised that I am forced to install files to a specific folder. Most software installs allow you to choose where to create your folders, etc... I happen to share my documents folder on a network and I wanted to remove my DVDP stuff from it.

To avoid misunderstandings, be aware there are two installation paths to consider:
a. The location of all program executables and the files associated with that (IIRC specifiable at installation time)
b. The location of your first (IOW default) database of profiles, which is IIRC NOT specifiable at installation time but is fixed initially in My Documents. You'll have to make a change yourselves via Open Database... options to move to a different folder or drive (network drive, local drive, whatever you want).

IOW it is quite customisable but since the help info with this program is quite <sarcastic>let's say, condensed</sarcastic> you'll need to peruse the fora and/or play with all programme options to find out.

it's quite easy actually. <snip>

Many thanks for this info; I never knew that and it may come in very handy rather soon!

Sounds like a typical corporate or school environment.

Typical corporate or school environment where users My Documents has been shared? Don't think so. My documents is ment for personal data and therefore it's located inside user's profile. Many companies use Folder Redirection to redirect it, for example, to users home directory, but sharing it doesn't make any sense.
