GNUCash issues

[Miranda Lee]

Dear Maf,

If you still have time for my questions.. I would appreciate your further
advice*!*

How can I correct the record showed at 'Company registration' after I have
setting up one already?
(it actually wasn't the Account name i wanted to change but the initial
account name i have setup for a new account).
Even though I can easily change the file name, when I print a report it
till showed the name I have initial set up.

For printing Profit & lost report, although I have selected all account and
the date range (then hit 'apply', then 'okay), there is no figures showing
at the report! Do you know the reason?

Thanks a million*!*
