I ran into this with my Vantage system a while back. I took the opportunity
to install a fresh drive with a fresh OS and a fresh copy of
Vantage/Progress. Granted, I also took the chance to upgrade from the
version 3.0 we were on to 5.0 (can't skip 4.0 though) on a separate machine.
While installing I chose to sit the database on a separate drive (to
overcome the 4 gig limit of NT 4.0 boot) and restored the database to the
new drive. This process took me from a 4 gig partition with the Database,
Vantage, Progress and NT on the same drive to the OS on a 4 gig and the
database on an IDE raid 10 with 4 20 gig ATA 100 drives. In short, if I was
going to have to move the database I was going to do everything I could at
the same time. All told it cost me >$700 and a weekend of upgrading.

I am running out of space on the C: drive of my Vantage server. I
have moved as much as I can around. Question: Can I move the
database to a different drive and leave the rest of Vantage on C? Or
what other suggestions might there be to free up space?

Yes,

I have my training database on a separate partition from the 'Vantage'

in the Progress Explorer Tool.

Lois,
That's not a problem at all, and not terribly difficult either. You can actually span the Database across multiple drives if you like, or put the db file on one drive, bi file on another, split the db file into multiple 'extents' and have each extent on a different drive, etc. The vantage.st file keeps track of where everthing is.

I ran into this with my Vantage system a while back. I took the opportunity
to install a fresh drive with a fresh OS and a fresh copy of
Vantage/Progress. Granted, I also took the chance to upgrade from the
version 3.0 we were on to 5.0 (can't skip 4.0 though) on a separate machine.
While installing I chose to sit the database on a separate drive (to
overcome the 4 gig limit of NT 4.0 boot) and restored the database to the
new drive. This process took me from a 4 gig partition with the Database,
Vantage, Progress and NT on the same drive to the OS on a 4 gig and the
database on an IDE raid 10 with 4 20 gig ATA 100 drives. In short, if I was
going to have to move the database I was going to do everything I could at
the same time. All told it cost me >$700 and a weekend of upgrading.

Just a thought to consider if you are thinking about moving your database.

Lois,
The simplest way would be to backup your database, then using the PROREST command, restore the database to the new location. This will create the correct Vantage.st file for that new location. Then you can point your Progress Explorer to the new location as Mark suggests, or do the same with Procontrol. This could also effect your ODBC drivers depending on which ones you use. If your RB files have the physical path to the database in the connection options, you may want to remove the path and just leave 'vantage' there, which works fine.
