Thank you David.
I don't think I'm starting GC more times than I'm shutting it down. If it's
running I access it through the icon at the base of my desk, it's only if the
icon is missing that I "start" GC.
If I don't intend to use it for a long while I save whatever still needs to be
saved and I click on the cross in the upper right corner of my screen (am I
missing something?)

It sounds like you are starting GnuCash more times than you are shutting it
down. GnuCash can open more than one instance at a time, which would cause the
same message.
Take care to return to the open instance rather than starting a new instance
when you return, because it is possible to lose data from the first instance
when the second instance is shut down.

Hi!
More often than not, when I launch GnuCash, I get the message:
Gnucash could not obtain the lock for file:\.......\filename.gnucash
I click "Open anyway" and it works normally. So I can't say I really care
but it's a bit puzzling.
Anyone has an explanation and can I do something to change that?
That normally happens when GC has not been closed down correctly. How
are you closing it?
Also which operating system are you using and which version GC?
Colin
I'm using Windows 7.
I normally close GC before turning my computer off. But I hardly turn it off
more than once a week and the "incident" I'm refering to happens most every day.
