It may be somehow related to the account named Trading that GnuCash created. Normally, GnuCash will only create that account for users that know that they want to use a special feature that is there for investors to use to help with capital gains calculations, and it normally isn't used by most people. Actually, I am not sure how to safely delete that account (and prevent it from coming back) if you do not want it, because it contains transfers to and from your security accounts. Perhaps a developer or another user can advise us about that. That is still not the cause of the crash, the developers may need more details about that. Good luck.

If that file is there, that means gnucash is using the corresponding ".gnucash" file. Of course, if gnucash crashes and is unable to delete that .lck file, it will superexist the gnucash process. In this case, the correct choice is "open anyway", and copying everything first is an excellent idea, too. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org [mailto:gnucash-user@gnucash.org] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user [https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user] ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
