Hello!

I am experiencing an issue when trying to open my GnuCash file. Upon
launching the application and selecting my file (*VPOL.gnucash*), I receive
the following error message:

*"No suitable backend was found for C:\Users\pkara...\VPOL.gnucash."*

I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps without success:

   - Verified that the file exists and is accessible.
   - Tried opening other GnuCash files to check if the issue is specific to
   this file.
   - Moved the file to a different location (e.g., C:\Users\Public\Documents)
   to rule out permission issues.
   - Ensured I am using the latest version of GnuCash.
   - Checked if the file is corrupted by opening it in a text editor (it
   appears to contain data).

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? Is there a
way to recover the file if it is corrupted?

Thank you in advance for your help!
