Using Windows Explorer to Manage Your Databases

You can use Windows Explorer to move and copy your database file. The database file name can have any name that complies with Windows standards, as long as it has a BDB file extension. A single folder can contain two or more database files.

If you use the Windows Explorer program to move your database file, make sure that you also move the files with the .ID extension. For example, if you move the MYDATA.BDB file to a new folder, make sure you also move MYDATA.ID to the same folder.

After you move a database using Windows Explorer, you must locate the database using the Database List Manager to let the system know the new location.
