Date limit on transactions / freezing transactions

[David T.]

Stan, 
There is a setting that might help you: File->Properties->Day threshold for read-only transactions 
I'm not sure whether it will help in your use case, but it's worth mentioning. 
On a side note, I recall you saying you are planning to merge these two files at a later date. Do you have any idea how you plan to do this? I ask, because as far as I know, there is no merge option in gnucash itself.

Such an alteration happened once, in September 2012 while I was (I thought) entering November 2012, and it's only when the 30 November 2012 balance sheet didn't match my source database that I discovered it.
