Hi,

Not familiar with the windows versions of GC, but on Linux systems, error 
messages of this type usually indicate that a previous session of GC didn't 
exit cleanly.

If you are sure that there isn't another instance of GC running with that data 
file open, you should be safe to click the "open anyway" option.

Don't think that this will be related to your import or printing problems.

The only thing that I can suggest for your printing problem is to get the 
report generated in GC, click the "Export" toolbar button, (which will save 
the report as a HTML file) - then print it from the browser of your choice.

HTH,
Maf.
