And while you are at it (selecting zero balance accounts not to show) 
look at ALL of your report options. Actually, I am slightly surprised 
that you were not already going onto edit => report options because THIS 
report is always for between a range of dates so you would always be 
wanting to specify "start date" and "stop date".

However, let me suggest something else. This is a report where you MIGHT 
want to first run with zero balances showing, look at the report to see 
if there were any UNEXPECTED zeroes, then rerun with zero balances 
suppressed << just change the option >> This is for roughly the same 
reason that I ran the reports "raw" and then hand editing after 
exporting. In other words, assuming not some kind of error (the 
unexpected zero) I'd be leaving that one showing with an annotation 
explaining why << like "the vendor who did the printing/postage for our 
annual meeting announcement hasn't sent an invoice yet" >>

In other words, you want to see an UNEXPECTED zero amount as that is 
something you will want to look into to find out why.
