The easiest way is just manually move the data file(s) where you want them  
and then use the "Open" selection from Moneydance's "File" menu to open  
the file in the new location.   You could also do a "Save As" from the  
"File" menu and save the file in the new location, then manually remove it  
 from the old location.  Either way will work.
