I tried but failed. I use WAMP server for MySQL. Do I have to install 
(WAMP) it in both PC to
connect to a remote Mysql server? In my MySQL main server PC , I made a 
user for GNUCash
and grant it all privileges from ANYHOST. After I installed GNUCash in 
remote PC, I tried to
connect to remote MySQL server by using the IP address of the MySQL 
server's PC AS HOST
and "gnucash" as Datbase name, username that I created above and password.
But It shows an error
