Balance Sheet Question about content

[David T.]

Jay,

I was going to suggest setting accounts to hidden, but that doesn’t work. 

The report gets curiouser and curiouser. It includes accounts that are hidden—but which you can’t select or deselect from the account selector, since they’re hidden. I’m not sure what the solution should be.

Sorry I can’t help,
David
