This guide describes how to move ODBClink to a new Location (machine or folder).
If you have a new machine (PC) or wish to hand over ODBClink operations to another person, follow the instructions below to move the software to a new location.


If you have a new machine (PC) or wish to hand over ODBClink operations to another person, the first step is to work out where ODBClink is installed. You can do this by tracing the path of the shortcut on your desktop. If its installed on a shared folder on your server then navigate to that folder from the new PC and run the ODBClink.exe. The first time its run from that new location a setup wizard will start to capture setup instructions.

If located on your local PC then you need to move that copy to your new machine rather than install a new version of BudgetLink. To move BudgetLink, cut and paste the [[ODBClink Folder]] to the location.

ODBClink should now be useable on the new machine. Be mindful you may need to update your data connection. See [[Changing how ODBClink connects to your data file]] for more information.
