Thanks to Stan, Dan, and Liz for the suggestions. I'm going to play around with these tomorrow, but I have to say that I always like to find "lesser-known features," so I'll probably try Stan's first.
I failed to specify my OS (Window 10) and GnuCash version (4.9), for which I apologize. I'm assuming that Liz is suggesting that I open the *.gnucash file (open with > gnucash) to get the second instance of the program running. Let me know if that's not right.
