Richard (Barmann),

To open GnuCash, just use the shortcut *for the app*, and *do not* 
double-click your data file.

This will open the last used file.

If this gets you what you want - great, the problem is solved. Open 
GnuCash this way from now on.

If this isn't the version of data you expect to see, then please report 
to us the name of the file you see in the title bar at the top of the 
GnuCash window.

For example, my title bar shows:

"personal.gnucash - Accounts - GnuCash"

the first part, "personal.gnucash" is the data file name. (the second 
part is the tab that has focus, "Accounts" in this case, and the third 
part is of course, the name of the app)

If you see numbers in your file name that you didn't put there, you are 
inadvertently opening a dated backup copy instead of the original main file.

We can help you fix it and get back to your main file.

Regards,
Adrien
