PS Panic over! I removed all files created after the last known good .gnucash backup file - MDH.gnucash.20190502173103.gnucash - to a safe place. I then started Gnucash 3.4 in the normal way, and opened this backup file when prompted for a filename. I made a couple of entries, saved as MDH.gnucash and Quit Gnucash. This time I was able to open the resulting file with Gnucash 3.5, make an entry, save and exit in the normal way. I’ll keep a careful eye on developments over the next few days.
