I didn't see anyone mention two important conditions: (1) The two host computers must be running the same major version of GC, ideally the same version. If one is running e.g. version 3.x and the other is running 2.x or 4.x, the one with the later version will change the format of the file and the one with the earlier version will no longer be able to read it correctly. (2) There should not be separate edits on the two machines without first re-synching after the first set of edits. -- Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com https://OakRoadSystems.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
