[GNC] Saved Reports Disappearing

[Fran_3]

 Ah Ha ! Got it. Found it (saved-reports-2.8) on Win7 Pro machine in...
C:\Users\UserX\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\
Filename = saved-reports-2.8
Made a copy and was able to open with NotePad++ and I can see the way the report options are saved.
Regarding having that file automatically sync'd to the cloud... I'm not sure how to do that using the cloud/sync system I'm using.
I guess I could gin up a little code that would, when used to launch gnuCash, would go to the appropriate sync'd folder and get the saved-reports-2.8 file and put it in the proper AppData folder for gnuCash to use... then upon exit copy the saved-reports-2.8 file back over to the sync'd.

No time for that at the moment so I'll just trudge along for now as deadlines are killin' me :-)
Thanks again for the help folks.

That's not quite right. The save report configurations are not stored with the 
installed program files, they are stored in your home directory, but in a path 
you typically don't go directly as a user. For that exact path, check the link 
David Cousens provided earlier.

There is no harm in synching this saved-reports file to your work PC. Your 
sync tool may or may not support synching arbirtrary files though.

Other than that, your use case is exactly why we are considering to store the 
report configurations directly in mybooks.gnucash at some point in the future.
