Does the sql log file have to be in the same location as the DB or can the logfile be placed in another drive.

not necessary. Infact, if possible, place the log file on separate physical disk

I have tried to place the log file on another drive and have been unsuccesful. When I re-attach the database Enterprise Manager puts a path automatically on the same drive as the DB. When I try to change to the new drive it goes back to what EM selected. Any suggestions?
