The database consists of all of your contacts’ information, activities, notes and histories, and so on.

The database files are stored on your local machine by default. You can move the database and all associated files, however, if you move a database that synchronizes with remote databases, synchronization will no longer work.

These files are automatically created when you create a new database and include layouts, templates, and any attachments associated with a contact record, group, or company.

You cannot change the location of these files in the database. For a list of supplemental file locations, see Learning more about supplemental files.

These include files saved to your local directory, such as word-processing documents not associated with a contact, Internet links, and custom dictionaries. E-mail messages and attachments that are not associated with contacts can also be saved as personal supplemental files.

ACT! Premium for Web Server sets a default path for the personal supplemental files in General Preferences, but you can change the location or move existing personal files to another location on your computer. For a list of personal file locations, see Learning more about supplemental files.
