Trust me, I *do* know what I am talking about. If you don't actually save
reports then you clearly cannot.
I should say I have a clear understanding of what I need from the
reporting system. What I get isn't quite it, but with appropriate
tweaking it's near enough - and I have to tell you that's praise indeed,
and it's several orders of magnitude closer than I've found from quite a
the obvious commercial products. In fact, I used to work for a very
successful company - alas, long ago purchased and killed by Sage <spit!>
- whose business was commercial accounting packagages, and what gnucash
produces is in some ways closer than I would have got from their
products!
