[GNC] Two Instances as opposed to two separate files

[David H]

Ken,

1. Don't think so
2. See 1.
3. Setup 2 shortcuts using the gnucash file name and probably the file path
for each file then you can just double click on the appropriate shortcut.
If your file paths contain spaces you'll probably need double quotes around
them.

Cheers David H.
