gnucash file could not be found

[Maf. King]

Hi Mike,

Think you've hit a weird interaction of the Gnucash Program (well, some of 
it's underlying modules) and MacOS.

However you invoke Gnucash, it will *always* try to load the most recently 
used data file on a Mac.  Once you have cleared the "cant Find file" message, 
use the Gnucash File->Open and navigate to your network store and hence the GC 
data file you need.

HTH,
Maf.
