Hi Dan. That is a worry. others have explained the lock file. But I wonder if your data file is in some way corrupted and GC crashes trying to open the data file? What exactly do you mean by "nothing happens"? Does the dialogue box asking about "open anyway" vanish after you click the button? Firstly, I'd try and open the file from a local copy - ie not on the network - to eliminate file permissions problems and network issues. If GC continues to be stubborn, I'd go and try a backup file from before the issue cropped up (both on the LAN and a local copy) HTH, Maf. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
