Hi Mike & GNUCash users,
Possibly minor point, but what version of Linux Mint are you using?
https://www.linuxmint.com/download_all.php
Does your bookkeeper use Windows or Linux to access your GNUCash data
file?

Couple more notes:
I dual-boot Windows 11 and Linux Mint on the same machine. Windows and Linux
are installed on separate physical disks (though separate partitions work the
same way), and data are on other separate disks (machine has 2 SSDs and 2 HDs.
Mint (Gnucash 5.10 in Flatpack) has no problem working with the Gnucash data
files on the separate data disk (NTFS) out of the box. Other flavors of Linux
might need something added to do that. Primary system used for Gnucash work,
however, is Window. Because of dual-booting, there is no possibility of both
OS's having the data file open at the same time.
I don't regularly do it, but I can also copy my Gnucash data to Onedrive and
work on if from a different machine. Onedrive simply acts as network-attached
storage in that application. Gnucash does simple locking when opening the file,
so there would be at least a speed bump if somebody else tried to open the file
from Onedrive while I was working on it. Again, seldom used.
My main way of sharing the Gnucash data is by sneakernetting USB sticks with the bookkeeper. Then,
of course, trying to remember where the most recent copy of the data file is ... I'm prone to
"Dory" moments (see "Little Mermaid"). ;-)
Yes, more questions need to be answered...

Hi Griffin/GNUCash users,
What Linux distro & version are you running on your Linux laptop?
https://distrowatch.com/
Are the versions of GNUCash on the Windows 10 desktop & the laptop
running Linux the same?
https://gnucash.org/download.phtml - the current version of GNUCash is
5.10 for all the operating systems listed

I can access the entire windows share from Linux laptop, but GNUCash will not
open the GNUCash file stored on the windows share. I can select then, but
GNUCash will not open them.
I can access and use Thunderbird files on the Linux Laptop, and othe files,,
but not GNUCash, which leads me to believe this is something to do with
GNUCash, and any networking thing.
The message that is presented says;
The file/URI /run/user/1001/gvfs/smb... could not be found.
Any thoughts?
