[GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 181, Issue 68, Message 12: Locked Data Files

[Richard Marmor]

   With Gnucash closed, go to the Gnucash's data files. There, find and
   delete
   any files with the suffix .LNK or .LCK  then restart Gnucash.

     Tried a few simple things without success to noavail. I reinstalled
     2.6.21, and everything works fine. Interesting tho, every time I
     tried
     to run the 3.0 version there was a lock on the data even tho I had
     never
     been able to open any data. Id' love to be able to use 3.0 but not
     yet
