  The important thing is that BEFORE you jump to either using "open 
anyway" or deleting the lock file you take a few seconds to think about 
WHY this happened?

IF you are positive there was no crash or force shutdown with gnucash 
running CHECK that there isn't an instance of gnucash running. In other 
words, close the one you are in and then check the list of running jobs.

PS: Do NOT simply delete every file ending with extension .lck Just the 
one associated to the gnucash file you are trying to open (look at the 
part before the .lck)   It isn't only gnucash that uses lock files.
