You know, sometimes I frustrate myself by googling all kinds of crap all 
day, and then when I have a REAL question, I never think to do it... :D

thanks, obvious. that's what I get for drinking two beers BEFORE sitting 
down at the computer. I find though that I use lots of the reports in 
lots of different ways. many of them I leave open all the time for my 
default uses, but I'm constantly running different little cashflow & P&L 
reports  for random stuff. The cashflow is a killer as it takes forever 
(30+ SSECONDS!!) to run when I first pick it... then I have to go modify 
it and run again... annoying.

I am hoping to find out whether people think this is even a good idea or 
not? and what the implications are.  If its something that only bothers 
me....
