Hi, You can hook in your new report (you need to give it a unique name -- you cannot call it the portfolio report) basically by putting your scheme file in the right directory, get it installed, make sure you give it a unique module name, set up a unique menu location, and then in standard-reports.scm you want to add something that looks like:
(use-modules (gnucash report payables)) This is the magic to hook into the report system with a new report. Obviously you'd use your new report's module name in place of "payables" here. -derek Martijn van Oosterhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > [Please CC any replies as I'm subscribed no-mail] > > Hi, > > I've been using gnucash quite successfully for the last few months for my > accounts and it works really well.
