Ah, that’s different. That’s not “file not found”, it’s “file locked”, which means either that you have another instance of GnuCash running or that GnuCash didn’t shut down correctly, i.e. crashed, the last time you had the file open. Make sure that you don’t in fact have already have GnuCash open on that file. If not, and you consistently get the “file locked” dialog box, then you need to investigate further why GnuCash isn’t shutting down correctly.
