Just make sure that after you save a copy (B4A) that you aren't using 
that file going forward as GC usually opens the last saved file.

Unless you have "told" gnucash not to.

Those of us who are keeping multiple sets of books (f0r multiple 
entities) can make like easier by using the --nofile runtime parameter. 
Gnucash will then start without opening any file, letting you choose 
which you want to open. The last four open will be in a drop down list 
you can select from but if you have more than that you'll sometimes need 
to explicitly enter the file name. While in the past I was keeping more 
than four, 90% of the time it was one of the last four open (some of the 
entities only had a few dozen transactions a year -- and often most of 
those within a month or two and inactive pretty much the rest of the year.
