If you now save a report configuration in book A, with a selection of accounts from book A, the report will not  work properly when opened on book B, as not all accounts from book A would match the accounts from book B.

Thanks for your prompt response, Geert.

One concern I have is whether the references such as 'based on template “c4173ac99b2b448289bf4d11c731af13”’ would always have the base template to refer to in later versions of GNC, or if this is necessary.

I guess I’ll have to suck it and see!

Michael
