You can set the "Start in:" property to wherever your gnucash data file is located, mine is in C:\Users\<userid>\Documents\Gnucash\Data" as per the pic. This saves adding a path to the file name you pass to Gnucash, and then just include the file name after the "Target:" as per example. Cheers David H.

Setup 2 shortcuts using the gnucash file name and probably the file path for each file then you can just double click on the appropriate shortcut. If your file paths contain spaces you'll probably need double quotes around them. Cheers David H.

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.
