Thanks, but this doesn't work (for me, at least).

Going back to my example (including some sample figures this time), if my 
account tree is:

Expenses
|--Utilities
    |-- Telephone  $35
    |-- Internet      $40
|-- Rent                $100

I want to see:

Expenses:Utilities $75
Expenses:Rent      $100

The "Level of Subaccounts" changes the depth of indentation of the 
subaccounts, but that appears to be all. If I disable the subaccounts I don't 
want to see individually I still don't get the total against the parent 
account. In my example I actually get:

Expenses:Utilities
Expenses:Rent      $100

I've noticed in other reports that the parent account is often a total of it's 
subaccounts. I'm guessing I'm either missing something, or it was missed off 
this report.

Cheers,
