(That report only shows account balances as of a certain date--not transactions within a time period). What happens if you put in different date ranges? Do the amounts change?

In the icon bar at the top to the left of the Stop icon is a Reload
icon.  Click on that.  Also, you can open the Options window, make
changes, then just click Ok.  There is a <Ctrl>O or <CMD>O available,
depending on your OS.  I use Windows or Linux, I am not sure about OSX.
