Geert,

I looked there and since I run Linux(Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS), as I said in my 
original post, I also looked at Tracefile.

I am pasting the information found there (it is short):

jay at polar:/tmp$ ls -al *trace*
-rw------- 1 jay jay 88 Nov  2 09:53 gnucash.trace
jay at polar:/tmp$ cat gnucash.trace
* 09:53:18  WARN <gnc.backend.dbi> [gnc_module_init_backend_dbi()] No DBD 
drivers found
jay at polar:/tmp$

I use xml... This entry was created when I started the session I am currently 
running, using a file named gnu-data.gnucash.

So that was not much help. Is there another place I should be looking?

My question remains. How do I get gnucash to work with a file named gun-data 
(without the .gnucash suffix) again. Please see my original post.

Regards,
Jay
