Problem with Reports

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Quoting Gilles Gariepy <gariepy.g at videotron.ca>:

This dialog/warning was added in 2.0 because this would cause 1.8
to crash.  The warning is there to tell you about the problem
so you can manually correct it.

The file is ~/.gnucash/saved-reports...

You rename a report in the options dialog.
