Question on gnuCash file

[Melinda Savoy]

Derek,

Sorry for the delay in responding but I had to wait on my sys admin (husband) to respond.

He tells me we're using the SAMBA/SMB file filesystem.

Any direction or help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Regards.

What network filesystem are you using?  Is this a SAMBA/SMB share or
an NFS share?

When I save the file in the gnuCash application I'm showing no errors but when I go to the server where the file resides I no longer see the file. I realize it sounds weird.
