The USUAL reason for getting this is that your previous session did not
terminate normally (so the lock was never removed). If you are sure that
there isn't (couldn't be) another instance of gnucash running and using
that file simply choose the "open anyway" option << did you see that
button in the screen shot you sent us? >>
The reason that gnucash has the file lock is that there COULD be another
instance << remember, your operating system almost certainly allows
multiple sessions logged in at the same time and probably has provision
for files being in shared data space >>
