 brob268,

When you get the " Gnucash could not obtain the lock file for..." message,
it appears that you actually have the copy on your D: drive open rather
than your backup.  Have you checked the file dates of each copy and the
most recent Gnucash backups (with the .2019xxxx.gnucash suffix in the
name)  in each location?

What version of GnuCash are you using, what version of Windows are you
using, and how is your drive D: connected to your computer?  When you tried
editing a document on your D: drive per Colin's suggestion, did that work?
How do you address your backup and how is it connected?  How and when do
you back up your D; drive? Have you been diligent about updating Windows OS
and the OS on your D: server?
