addendum:

I have also found that I made an association using release 2.6.19 in
Windows 7 but it cannot be opened with release 2.6.17 in Ubuntu 16.04
because it is an absolute address including the Windows assigned Drive
letter to the remote server.  I assume that the Ubuntu file address also
includes the mount point address as well, so it would not be accessible
from Windows.  Is it possible to use relative addressing if the GnuCash
data file and the associated file[s] are on the same server?
