Hi John,

A *total* fudge, but if one were to "File -> Export -> Export accounts", one 
could have a file with a new accounts tree (ie no txns, and so no balances).  
By running the account sumary report on the new, empty tree, with a depth of  
"All" and "Omit zero balances" set, I think that only the CoA would be shown.

Debatable, of course, whether it is simpler/quicker to do that, or cut'n'paste 
the report with figures into a spreadsheet and delete the offending column(s) 
and work from that list... (YMMV, exporting the report to HTML might be needed 
prior to opening in the SS.)

just 0.02
Maf.
