[GNC] Opening Gnucash

[Fross, Michael]

Richard, does your GNUCash file have a date string in the name?  If so,
then  you are inadvertently using a backup file.  Your filename should be

FILENAME.gnucash   (FILENAME is whatever you decided to call it)

If it looks like:

FILENAME.gnucash.20220909023225.gnucash  (insert a valid date time stamp)

then it's a backup file and you are working on a backup.  This is not what
you want.

If this is the case, do a File | SaveAs and call it NAME.gnucash and go
from there.

Michael
