Is there a way to change the location of of BCM database
file.
Thanks.
 
So where is it located Sue?

Using a shared login account between a desktop and a laptop allows
everything to be shared but BCM info. Is that by design?

Yes, that's by design. According to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;816499, the location
of the Data folder for a named MSDE instance is C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SQL Server\MSSQL$instance_name -- in this case, MSSQL$MICROSOFTBCM

If you want to share data between two Windows logins, you can try using
backup and restore. I got that to work between two machines.
