If the database is used only by one user and the application, then if the user changes the computer, you can just copy the database to the new computer.

However, if two or more computers use the same database, then the database should be located in a place that is accessible to all the computers and users who wish to use it. In such case the connection should be defined so that it points to the shared location. For examples about the connection string, have a look at Access connection strings - ConnectionStrings.com[^]
