Hi -- what operating system do you use (Linux, Windows, or Macintosh)? That
might affect the advice you're given.

Also, do you recall move or deleting any files before this happened?
Gnucash data files usually end in ".gnucash"

In the Macintosh version, if you have moved the data file, you cannot open
that file by double-clicking the data file, as it will always look in the
last place it was no matter which .gnucash file you double-click. You will
have to open GnuCash and select the file in its new location using
File-->Open. The next time you use GnuCash it will automatically open the
file in that place.

The GnuCash FAQ includes some information you might find helpful:

As the note says below, please include the email list when you reply.
