Good day gentlemen/ladies,

I feel horrible/ashamed for all the noise I created on this list.
I made a "** silly **" mistake.
I have been doing this many times moving from new release to new release 
and other linux flavours and it works every time.

I installed the same cd to another spare usb external drive to try and 
mimic what I did.

Daily save my home directory to a spare external usb backup drive.
In my case the gnucash directory is named " Gnucash " that has been 
copied to many linux versions.

The following steps... (works every time if done correctly)

1-  Copy " Gnucash " directory to new installation home directory.
2-  Run gnucash.
3-  Cancel tips
4-  Do NOT create new set.
5-  NO to welcome dialog.
6-  Close tips of day
7-  File -> Open
8-  Click on " Gnucash " directory.
9-  Click on Open   (**  Here is the mistake **)
10-  No suitable backend ///// for file /home/johan/Gnucash
11-  Click on Close
12-  File -> open
13-  DOUBLE click on " Gnucash " directory ...now the directory eapands.
14-  Click on open
15-  Success !!!!!!!!

Again ** Very sorry ** . Maybe this will assist some one in the future.

Thanks
Johan.
