HI Chris,

IIRC = If I recall / remember correctly.  Shorthand for "I haven't got gnucash 
open and running at the moment, but the menu entries and buttons you need are 
something like this - but use your judgement as my memory is not perfect..."

Run the multicolumn report and press the options button.  Within the dialogue 
box that pops up, set columns to 2 and in the contents tab add 2 balance sheet 
reports.  Hit OK, and you'll get 2 identical reports side-by-side.  At the 
bottom of those reports, there is a "report ons" link (blue on my machine) 
which will let you tweak the individual balance sheets that are displayed.

HTH,
Maf.
