While GnuCash can use MySQL (as well as Postgres and SQLite) as a
backend, the entire db is read into memory at start-up, rather than
separate records being accessed like a normal db-based app. Thus, it is
not currently set up to do what you are looking for, but that is a

Randix,
Be careful here
Your gnucash file should be named something along the lines
of 2020-12-Dec.gnucash
These files with date and time embedded in the name are backup files - it
seems like you opened a backup file from Dec 5 and worked on it at some
stage???

Nelson... although I have GnuCash installed on 2 separate laptops, I only

external drive). The other laptop installation is just in case my primary
laptop crashes (and I could then copy one of the backed up data files for
Good point. Can GnuCash work as a front end to a database that does
record locking, such as MySQL? Otherwise, how would work done by
multiple other users on their copies of the data be safely merged into a
single master file?
It's clear, though, that GnuCash is designed mainly for single users. A
GnuCash is currently not set up to be multi-user. Multiple people can
work in the same file, just not at the same time.

I have my gnucash file saved in a Dropbox account. Multiple people can
access the file so long as they have the Dropbox account credentials.
Gnucash generates a LCK file when the main file is opened, so another
person trying to open the file at the same time as someone else will see a

I currently use QuickBooks for business accounting software. Never liked it and
am in the process of replacing our server. We have a 5 year old version that is
no longer supported so if there’s a problem migrating the program we’re out of
