[GNC] Please help

[Chip Reid]

I am totally fed up with Quickbooks so I spent some time investigating
other options.  I really liked what I saw with GNUCash, so I downloaded and
installed it.  I spent ALL day yesterday inputting all my 2023 transactions
for 2 bank accounts and 3 credit cards.  I try to open the program today
and I get a message about GNUCash not being able to get a lock on the
file.  I know it was not in use because I had just booted up the laptop, so
I clicked open anyway.  All my work from yesterday is gone.  Nothing.  Can
someone please help.  This is very discouraging.

Thanks

Charles
