Kathleen, You will get better responses if you mention your OS and gnucash version. That said, macOS has a peculiarity wherein it will only open the last opened file regardless of which data file you clicked on. So if you accidentally opened a 2022 copy of the data file, then simply go to File

Thanks for all your responses.  I guess creating a script seems to be the answer to automate payroll in GNC.  Are you using the C/C++ APIs in GNC?  Do you have to compile your code for each release? Would it be more easier doing that in Python using Python-binding APIs?  Thanks! On 1/1/25 7:0
