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. -derek > On 7/17/19 2:02 PM, Derek Atkins wrote: >> Yes.
