[GNC] Closing and reopening Gnucash

[David Carlson]

Richard,

Some versions of GnuCash are not able to find GnuCash data files that are
in network servers or USB removable drives.  There is a bug report about
that.

However, If your file manager program is able to mount and view the
directory containing the data file, you can either double click the file
icon directly and GnuCash will open that file or just start GnuCash from
the program icon and it will open that file if it was the last file used.
