AM going to continue to add to the historical accounts and use the
reports for the annual tax returns, seems like the easiest option.
My other question was again what I thought should be a simple
solution. Saving data, I have attempted multiple times to do this
in various places without success.
Have previously opened the files/accounts from the file-drop down
which works fine but there are only 4 options and I now have 5
accounts/files and as I have been playing with different names and
accounts to solve the above issues now can only open 2 is there a
way of “seeing” selecting and opening all accounts/files within
GnuCash.
As this has been very limiting have been following instructions in
user manual to save Accounts to a specific file have followed
procedure and repeated many times with same result that if no
mater which file I click on it will only open the last one that
was saved. SO below last saved was 2 Verona, when I click to open
Oxley the 2 Verona data is retrieved.
Sure there is a simple solution that I am not seeing.
Again thanks for your help.

I am not SURE what you are saying. (Operating system might help)
When you use "file open" you get a drop down list showing the last four
that you had open. You cant change that (get more than four i that
handy "shortcut" list). This can be slightly awkward if you have more
then four ACTIVE sets of books. If the problem is that you have less
than five (active sets of books) but some inactive ones are clogging the
list, that is fixable, by opening the active ones until the inactive
ones have dropped off the list as no longer most recently opened.
You are NOT limited to opening files from that list. If instead of
clicking on one of those you use the more general "open" you should get
to where you can select any file. That's how you can replace the
inactive ones in the "last four" list. Is THAT what you are doing but
say that it is opening instead the last one that was open? << in other
words, it is THAT paragraph in what you wrote that makes me uncertain
what problem you are claiming to have, and why I asked about OS.
