Problem description:

Using databases in MS Access sometimes it is necessary move database to different disk (e.g. if there is not enough space on disk where FaxChange is installed).

If You have installed HotFix #1 this task can be done.

WARNING! if You use this steps You may have problem in future with applying ServicePacks or upgrade to new version. Use it on Your own risk!

By default FaxChange databases are located in data/database/ directory. here are some files; every contain one FaxChange table.

If You want move database, use this steps:

1. Stop and disable startup for services FaxChange.Server and FaxChange.Router.

2. Check if no Administration utility is not running.

3. On any disk of same computer where FaxChange runs create directory for databases.

4. Move all files from directory faxchange/data/database/ to new folder.

5. Create share for new folder.

6. in Registry edit next keys:
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Datasys/FaxChange/ODBC/tUser/Connection
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Datasys/FaxChange/ODBC/tState/Connection
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Datasys/FaxChange/ODBC/tPabx/Connection
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Datasys/FaxChange/ODBC/tFile/Connection
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Datasys/FaxChange/ODBC/tFax/Connection
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Datasys/FaxChange/ODBC/tCsid/Connection

All these keys contain text like:
DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=\\ALFA\FaxChange\data\database\tCsid.mdb
Bold part change to new share name:
DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=\\ALFA\NewDB\tCsid.mdb
WARNING! File name (in this case tCsid.mdb) is different in each key -- mustn't be changed!

2. Now changes are done. Run administration utilities using databases and check if work properly (fxUserM - user table and routing, fxArch - archive, fxCfg - tab "Intercity and International calls").
