A MiKTeX solution is to set up your bibtex database inside a structure:

<root>\bib\<files here>

In the MiKTeX Settings system, set whatever <root> is as a new MiKTeX
root.  It should then find your file - this needs to be done for each PC
you use.

For example, I have my literature in a file called "Literature.bib",
which is stored as:

"My Documents"\texmf\bib\Literature.bib

So I set the texmf directory as a root, and MiKTeX finds it.
