Hi Matt.

2 ways to generate reports: 

1. (On the main Gnucash window, with the account tree visible) Menu item 
"Reports" then select your report - eg Transaction report, or Income & 
Expense -> Expense Barchart  or whatever.  Most of those will let you set a 
date under the "options" box, as relevant to the report.

2. From an open register window - the Toolbar button or the menu Reports.  
These probably don't let you specify a date range in the options, because 
they are showing the register directly - and using it's settings - you can 
set the date range for the whole of that register in (Register Window) View 
-> Select Transactions -> Date Range

I had type 1 in my head for my first reply, as you have probably guessed by 
now!

HTH,
Maf,
