Problem with Reports

[Gilles Gariepy]

Derek,

Thanks for the prompt response. I guess I should have been more explicit in
my explanation ;>)...I understand the error message but I can't find this
saved-reports file on my hard drive. I have gnucash 2.0.4 installed through
macports. I have searched through my HDD but this file is not there. Any
ideas?

Thanks 
Gilles
