Sorry, I just see now you state the old file is in position 1. That would indeed indicate to me that is the one open. (and most recent) Are you certain you don’t have more than one instance of GnuCash running? (I know it is possible on Mac, not sure about Linux) Regards, Adrien > On Jan 10,

Open Gnucash, it will open the last used book. If it is the old one, then go to File > Open, and choose the new book. Close Gnucash. When you re-open Gnucash, it should still open the last used book, but this time, that will be the new one. Regards, Adrien > On Jan 10, 2020 w2d10, at 2:59
