Importing a gnucash file to another computer

[Normand Fisher]

Thanks,
this is what I was expecting.  However, I just found out that the computer I was using yesterday had it's date set as 2011 instead of 2012!
This may have something to do with the problem given that my data was all dated in 2012 and the other file was all 2011 data!
As soon as I can try that machine again (it is located in another town) I'll give it a try.

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.
