Colin -- I don't understand what you are saying. WHAT can't you do? (by 
not saving the report each time run)

Are you saying that you can't make all the "constant changes", save 
THAT, and each time you run the report select options to modify with the 
"variable data", the throw it away (don't save it).

Or do you just mean that you can't save each resulting report (each 
INSTANCE of a run).

I was suggesting that perhaps you shouldn't be trying to do the latter. 
It's only not being able to do the first that would be a problem as I 
see it. I wouldn't expect to be saving each instance of the report 
WITHIN GnuCash. More or less confusing "program" and "data" (what you 
want the report to do vs the particular report instance with particular 
parameters "dates").
