No suitable back-end

Hi,

What Platform is this?  On a Mac clicking on a file does not tell GnuCash
to open that file -- you must start GnuCash and then File -> Open the file
you want.

What is the exact full filename you are trying to open?  Are you sure
you're not trying to open a .gcm (GnuCash Metadata) file?

Have you upgraded your system lately?  Had you chosen to use a
SQL/Database backend before?  If so, the upgrade may have removed the
database driver.
