Thanks, that makes perfect sense.

When you open a file, the lock is established. When you close the

in when the last save was done.
So, be sure to exit GnC before each system update.

My wife and I have been using Gnucash for a few years now for our
small
business, and the one problem that keeps happening is after my
Windows
11 Home edition updates and I have to restart Gnucash I get the
following message:
Gnucash could not obtain the lock for C:
\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\GnuCash.gnucash
That database may be in use by another user, in which case you
should not open the database. What would you like to do?
I select 'open anyway', then open, close, and then reopen it and the
error goes away. What is going on? How can I prevent this error
from
happening in the first place?
