How to relocate database into folder

[Sophie]

My first couple of databases are just sitting in their default locations:
~me/Documents/xyz.dtBase2

I am starting to use multiple databases freely, and want to keep them in a common folder. How to I relocate my existing ones there so DT finds/opens them as before, and how do I make that new folder the default location for new ones?

Thanks

Close all open databases, locate them in the Finder where you want them, and then open them again with File>Open database. I’m not sure that there is a way to set the default folder for new databases-I believe you will need to navigate to your databases folder.

1. First, Quit DT Pro — NEVER move an open database, as information could be lost.

2. Create a folder into which you will move your databases, and move them into it.

3. Launch DT Pro. Choose FIle > Open Recent and choose the ‘Clear Menu’ option to remove the previous selections in that list.

4. Open your databases using File > Open Database, or by double-clicking in the Finder. This will update the File > Open Recent list.

When you create a new database, choose the folder you created to hold your databases as the destination.
