Specifying the file path for an archive or archive log database
For most databases, the Database Path dialog box lets you specify a file name and path (directory) for each archive database associated with each set of archive criteria, or the file name and path for one archive log database. This file name and path will be used on the destination computer specified for all archives of the selected database. The destination computer (either a server or your local computer) is specified in the Choose Archive Server dialog box.

For more information, see Specifying the computers where archiving runs and where the archive is stored.

If the Database Path dialog box is not open, open the database you are archiving, choose File - Database Properties, click Archive Settings, and either click Settings, select a set of archive criteria, click Edit, and click the "Archive Database" button, or click Advanced, select "Log all archiving activity into a log database," and click the "Log Database" button.

If you want to archive onto some other medium than your hard drive, for example onto a writeable CD-ROM, you can enter the path to the medium here.

Note You can create more than one archive database for a selected database by creating multiple sets of criteria, but you can create only one archive log per original database.

1. Enter a file name in the "File name" field or leave the default file name.

2. Click the folder icon and specify or browse to the directory where you want to save the database.
