Bruce, Derek's response may not have been copied to the list. At least I did not see it.
I suspect that he responded that you may have your data file saved in one of the database formats and your version of GnuCash was not bundled with the proper database setup to open that type of file. I do not use that format so I don't know how to address that situation but others here may be able to help.
