What OS are you on? If you are on a Mac, then you're hitting the
"clicking on a file does NOT open the file you clicked on" issue, which is
only on a Mac. Specifically, on a Mac, GnuCash will always open the
last-opened file, regardless of what file/icon you click on. I.e., on a
Mac you MUST ALWAYS use File -> Open to change to different files.
If you're not on a Mac, then I don't understand what might have happened.
When you do File -> New File it should close the current set of books and
let you create a new one. And then you can File -> Save to save it (with
a unique name / location). Then you can File -> Open to change between
them.

Yes. We call that a "set of books". And GnuCash will let you have as
many different sets of books as you like. However, GnuCash will only
keep
one set of books open at a time, so you will have to close and open them
to switch between them. (Or have multiple copies of GnuCash open
simultaneously, which may or may not be possible depending on your OS)

Can I set up Gnucash for separate accounts, as an example, more than
one
business account and a separate personal account with a totally
separate
set of data files for each to keep up with finances?
