What I did to correct my problem was to take the last backup file and
remove all of the dates in the file name and made that my main
(orginial) transaction file. I opened that file as the data file and
used it. This corrected the issue with I was having.
Thanks everyone for your responses.

Your original file never changes names, unless you do a File > Save
As, or change it via your OS file manager.
If you ever see a file with a date stamp, it is a backup. Do not try
to open it in order to work in your main file. If you do, you are
instead working in a backup copy and the main file never gets changed.
This new backup then becomes your current 'working copy'.
If those truncated file names contain several (not just two) time
stamps, this means you've done this repeatedly and have now seriously
branched your file.
If you know for certain you never worked in any previous original or
backup file after opening a later one, just do a File > Save As on the
currently open file with a simpler name. Then only open that file to
start GnuCash in the future. Or better yet, if you are only using a
single file, just open GnuCash itself. It always defaults to the last
open file.
If you want a desktop shortcut, make it to the GnuCash app itself, not
your file. Store that in your Documents as already suggested.
(backups, logs, and lck files will be stored with it)
Regards,
Adrien

Adrien,
Here is what I have found out. Each time the program is closed it
adds that date and time to the name of the file. How can this be
stopped?
I can change the name of the file so that there is only one date for
the file name and bring it up with all of the transactions in the
file. I close the program and the file now has two dates showing on it.
Guess there is no original file on the computer.
Steve
