Can't Change Build Songs Database Destination Folder

I just upgraded to 3.005. All my kma files are on an external drive. Hoster now can't find my files, therefore I was going to rebuild the songs database. So, I start to rebuild the database and the destination folder is for the C drive. I want to change it to my external drive but I can find no way to change the destination folder. Does anyone know how to do this now. I don't want my destination folder on the C drive but on my external drive. That is the way I have had it on all versions previously.

Never mind. Found my own answer in the manuel. Go figure :-). Can't change the destination folder any longer. Will have to deal with it.

Re: Can't Change Build Songs Database Destination Folder

Yes, we removed the flexibility. There have been a number of support problems, and even problems from our beta testers because multiple Songs.mdb files could exist on multiple hard drives. In some cases, very nasty results have happened.

The killer reason is the Song Book - New Release Pages would not work correctly if the Songs.mdb was not on the default drive. It's a judgement call, but all new customers won't have a problem. Existing customers as yourself, have lost a flexibility, but one that you can live with once you realize its not a major loss. The averted problems is worth giving up that past flexibility.

I agree admin. The loss definitely can be lived with. Hoster is awesome and continues to get better. Thanks.
