Backend problem

I must be missing something in your suggestion. The original ubantu 
computers that are being used have zero problems with opening any of the
 gnucasf files on them, so apparently the database engine has to be 
correct. Take any of the ubantu machines that have gnucah app on them 
and they can open the files that are local to that machine or on another
 networked ubantu or win xp machine. The exact same files are on the win
 10 machine and only on that machine does the attempt from a networked 
ubantu trying to open the files on the win10  do we get the backend 
error. The files have to be fine when as a test i open then with an app 
native to win 10 and the win 10 app can open any of the data files of 
gnucash on any of the other networked ubantu or winp machines . The only
 problem is that I open gnucash on a ubanu computer and by the network 
try to open the data files that are on win 10. Other machines See 
everything fine on win 10 - any other file from any other program will 
open. Only problem is the gnucash. We are trying to use win10 as a 
mirror so that if one of the machines holding a number of files and 
gnucash being only one set, we can just mount the drive from win 10 and 
go down the road.

	It sounds like you are keeping your data files in one of the database
formats but you did not install the database engine in the Ubuntu box that
gives you the error message.
There is more than one way to solve that problem.  The easiest is to switch
to the default compressed XML data format (.gnucash).   The other is to
install the correct database engine for your data type.  I have never done
the latter myself and the wiki was just reorganized so I cannot find the
reference to look at for instructions.  Hopefully someone who uses a
database format in Linux will tell us how to do that.
