In addition instead of modifying the original reports, you could consider creating a custom report based on such an original report. This has the advantage that future updates won't overwrite your changes. This wiki page explains custom reports in more detail: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports Regards, Geert _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
