Your work is unlikely to be gone. By default (unless you changed it)
there is a preference set to periodically save the file. The lock file
issue is because either GnuCash crashed, or you shut down the computer
without closing the app first.
Open the app, (choose 'open anyway' if you like, but
Can you try opening up a file browser (File Explorer on windows, Files on
macos, etc.) in the directory you have your gnucash accounting file in and
see if there's a .LCK file prepended with the name of your accounting file?
You could try:
- closing gnucash (make sure all windows of it are closed)
I am totally fed up with Quickbooks so I spent some time investigating
other options. I really liked what I saw with GNUCash, so I downloaded and
installed it. I spent ALL day yesterday inputting all my 2023 transactions
for 2 bank accounts and 3 credit cards. I try to open the program today
and
wow.. never expected such a quick and personalized answer.. Thx!
I'm using now the unstable release 4.902.
I followed your instructions, but after trying gnucash-cli -Q info, I get
the following error:
"Failed to initialize Finance::Quote: boost::process codecvt to wchar_t:
error"
Within Gnucash
Thanks to Vincent Dawans, David H, David T and David Carlson for the
answer to my problem. I have now fixed it. I have to say I did a
search in the gnucash-help.pdf file without finding anything other than
changing column widths in invoices.

Neither the quick fix nor a more involved attempt worked. Boost::process is a
bit opaque but what it's telling us is that somewhere it wants codecvt to
convert some string from char to wchar_t. I'm having difficulty figuring out
where.
