Now, with the "name.gnucash" file I can open it on the other machine and I see all accounts correctly displayed but when I try the Reports / Income & Expenses / Trial Balance, all I get is a blank page.  If I do the same thing with a different company (file)that was produced on this new computer, it works.

If you can see your accounts and balances correctly then you
successfully transfered your data file.  Your data file is just like a
Word file; you just copy it across and "File -> Open" it on the other
system.

Shouldn't be a factor at all.
