A good question... it goes back to the fact that I have GnuCash install on Windows, Mac, and Linux (Ubuntu); I primarily use Mac and Windows for my finances, but I do use Linux once in a while. So, if I use an absolute path, the linked document will (probably) only work on the platform that did the linking. (I'm guessing that Mac and Ubuntu will probably work, but if the receipts are on a mounted drive, the mount points are different on the Mac than on Ubuntu). So, originally, I was wondering if I created a "Receipts" directory on the NAS and put all of the receipts there, then I could linke each one as a relative path (with no path separators), would it work? The answers I received seemed to indicate "yes", because even though the paths are different, the location is installed in the preferences file locally for each machine. (It is precisely because I know of issues with path separators and mount points that I have not been using linked documents; I was explaining the features of GnuCash to someone and mentioned linked documents, and I started wondering if there was a way that I could use them).
