Question about a matter of setup. I use Windows 11 - so answers/information
specific to that OS would be appreciated.
First - can two instances of the program be loaded (exist in the system) such
that one instance opens a personal file and one opens a business file?
Second - if answer to question one is yes - is this a preference you can set
and are there advantages to doing it?
Third - if answer to question one is no - then is the only way to have two
separate data files is to load the program and force load the specific file you
want since the program always default opens to the last file you dealt with?
Answers, opinions and other information welcomed. Thanks! -- Ken
First --- Best to treat as a "no". Not strictly speaking impossible, but
leave this for pros who would not be needing to ask how to do it.
Third --- You can try following the suggestions from other how to do.
But ONE way is to have gnucash start not opening any file (use the
runtime parameter -nofile) and then select from the drop drop down list
which you want opened (or specify the file explicitly, which you would
do if more files than four). That is what those of us who are keeping
the books for multiple entities are likely to do.
