a) If you have not checked permissions on the old file, do that first.

b) When you say cannot open the file, what do you mean? Does not open 
the file with gnucash when you click on the object? (the file). Or does 
not open the file even when you start gnucash and then use "open file" 
to choose that file by full name? It is the latter you should describe 
as "cannot open file".

c) Have you in between upgraded the version of gnucash? Or are you using 
the same on as when you last had this file open?

d) What, if any messages are you getting on this failure to open.
