Could not obtain the lock

[Moira]

Hi, I am getting this same message, but I cannot locate an .LCK or .LNK file
in the relevant folder.

I moved my files from an old laptop to a new one, by simply copying them and
then installing the program on the new computer. I opened GnuCash after
transferring the files with no problem.  Since then, however, I get this
"could not obtain the lock" message, and if I click on "Open Anyway" it will
not exit cleanly, it asks me to save the file as a new file.  Which I have
declined to do because i don't know if that will mess things up.

I read this thread and looked for the lock files to delete, don't see them.
I tried "Open Anyway" followed immediately by Quit, and that didn't help.

help!?
