[GNC] I need to recover my files for the 4.7 upgrade

[Paul Veltman]

Thanks John and gang.  I went into Gnucash > File > Open.  I had a list 
of files from when I first installed the program last year.  I went down 
to the end of the list and clicked on the data file and bingo, we're 
back in business.  Easy and painless.  I then closed Gnucash and 
reopened it and all my data was there.  I appreciate the help.

Cheers!

Paul

The last file and file history are kept in preferences so that's very likely why it didn't open your file automatically.
