Hi Roger,

If I understand correctly from your reply to John, the new computer is only to 
experiment with 3.4. It will not be used to actually upgrade from 2.6 to 3.4 ?

In that case you can indeed copy the saved-reports-2.4 file to the new pc.

If you enter a Windows Explorer on that PC, and type
%appdata%\GnuCash
in its address bar, that should open the proper location to store the saved 
reports file for gnucash 3.4 (provided you have run gnucash 3.4 before at 
least once). Note don't copy the file there while gnucash is running. It may 
be overwritten as gnucash closes.

Regards,

Geert
