to change the default folder location for data & log file, use Enterprise Manager. Right click on the SQL Server and select property and select Database Settings. Change the Default Data & Log Directory.

| If you want to change location of existing database, then you can detach and move the file to the new location and reattach back. Or simply backup and restore (using move statement).Hope this one help. |
