Budget report with a different format

[David T.]

Phil--

I've tried to load the report on my machine (OS X 2.2.9) following the aforementioned directions, without success. When run from a command prompt, Gnucash crashes out without loading my file. The console yields:

Backtrace:
In unknown file:
   ?: 0* gnc:error->string

<unnamed port>: In expression gnc:error->string:
<unnamed port>: Unbound variable: gnc:error->string

I checked the file in Dr.Scheme, and was informed that on line 68:

define: expected at least one argument name after the function name, but found none in: (budget-report-options-generator)

Not knowing what to do at this point...

Cheers, 
David
