Custom Reports

[David T.]

There is a typo in my original. The text I used in config.user was: “(load (gnc-build-dotgnucash-path “pal-budget.scm”))” 

Sorry for any confusion!

I tried changing config.user to read "(load (gnc-build-dotgnucash-path “budget-comparison.scm”))” again, per the wiki, but it did not change the results. THe report doesn’t load. Neither are there any errors at the console when I run GnuCash. It appears that the report is entirely ignored by the startup.
