Thanks Peter. I'm 5.14, windows 11 on a PC. The previous answer about keeping the accounts tab at the bottom have me an idea . If I put the cursor on the bottom tab when I open the report, then there is nothing below it and so it reverts to the report when I close the tab. Oh frabjous joy! QED! Thanks both
