Hi, I am getting this same message, but I cannot locate an .LCK or .LNK file in the relevant folder.
I moved my files from an old laptop to a new one, by simply copying them and then installing the program on the new computer. I opened GnuCash after transferring the files with no problem. Since then, however, I get this "could not obtain the lock" message, and if I click on "Open Anyway" it will not exit cleanly, it asks me to save the file as a new file. Which I have declined to do because i don't know if that will mess things up. I read this thread and looked for the lock files to delete, don't see them. I tried "Open Anyway" followed immediately by Quit, and that didn't help. help!? -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
