Custom Reports

[Jill Terry]

Thanks Maf - log-in?   I don't have a log-in, I just open the 
appropriate gnucash file.

OH (penny drop) - do you mean WINDOWS login?   oh blimey, I don't have 
the time, patience or memory to have to keep logging in and out all the 
time just for one program!

That is a great shame and a big drawback that the custom reports are not 
kept separate for each file :(

I have 20 reports for the club at the moment, I want some for my 
personal file and I am just about to put my business accounts on GnuCash 
as well - that's gonna be a mighty long list of custom reports to scroll 
through :(

Cheers
