Thanks for letting us know. I think I can safely say that for reports, the answer is almost always in the Options dialog. It can be tedious to go through every option when you're new to GC, but it's also pretty much essential. QUESTION FOR DEVELOPERS: Is there a hint to that effect in list for the tip of the day? If not, it's probably worth adding. Here's suggested wording for two hints: ==================================== 1 ================================ In many apps, you select various report options and then click a button to show the report with those options. GC works differently. In GC, you select a report, and it comes up right away, THEN you click the Options button and select report options. When you select a report, don't be dismayed if it comes up with no data. Go into Options and select a date range, desired accounts for the report, and so forth. Then go to the report and press F5 or Ctrl+R to get it to update based on your options choices. It's a good idea to look at every option and experiment with them till you get a good idea of how they work. When you have the report the way you want, click Reports » Save Report Configuration As in the menu. The next time you want it, click Reports » Saved Report Configurations and select the report. It will come up with the options you saved earlier. ==================================== 2 ================================ For many reports, including Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss/Income Statement among others, you don't need to select specific accounts. Instead, you can just click "Select All" on the Accounts panel of Options. The Balance Sheet will show only assets, liabilities, and equity accounts, and the Income Statement will show only income and expense accounts, and so forth.)
