I moved my databases from My Documents to C:\IQ. How do I get them to recognize the MHT files in the new location, rather than the old?

Did you move the .files sub-folder with your .sndb file?

I copied the .files subdirectory over, but also left it in the old location. When I call up the SNDB file in the new location, ItemHTMLFile shows C:\Documents and Setings\Keith\Desktop\IQ\Users\Keith\kab002.SNDB.Files\ItemIDxxxx.MHT, rather than the desired C:\IQ\Users\Keith\kab002.SNDB.Files\ItemIDxxxx.MHT.
Am I supposed to delete the old .files subdirectory/folder from its previous location to do this properly?

Yes you should, the program searches for dependant files in the following order:
  1. Original location
  2. Original location, but swap the drive letter with the current drive (for thumb drive letter assignment issue)
  3. IQBase path + files sub-folder
  4. If not found, it creates a new file (in the files sub-folder) using the database copy (if it has not been erased : HTML menu > Edit > Delete database copy)

That did it, with some refreshing. Thanks!
