One point to remember - if you’re working on a Mac you can’t double-click on a .gnucash file on the desktop or in Finder to get GnuCash to open it. What happens is that GnuCash is started up, but it opens the file it had open last time you used it.

If you move your .gnucash file to a new location and double-click the file in its new location, GnuCash will look for it in the old location, and report on its failure to find it. At this stage, you should cancel the error message, and use File=>Open to open the file from its new location.

Once you’ve done this, whenever you start GnuCash it will open the last file it had open.
