SQL Server question from Washington DC

Hello,
I see that your company is in Gaithersburg, Maryland. We are in Washington DC and would appreciate your thoughts on a SQL Server issue.
We have one of our company databases in SQL Server 2005. Recently we bought a new server and are transferring the database to the new server. We backed up the database to a file and tried to restore it on the new server. But the new server seems to require that the database files be in the same exact location as they were on the old server? Is there a way to get around this? Do you make house calls?? :-)

Computer Programming in Gaithersburg

Hello Corbin Creative,
I need some computer programming done (in Microsoft Access and MySQL). We had some custom programming done years ago and a few things are working correctly. Can you recommend a good computer consulting company in the Gaithersburg area? Or, if we have to go to Washington DC that’s ok too. Thanks in advance for your suggestion(s). Happy New Year!
