Stan,

I'm certainly not trying to convince anyone of any procedure, but for 
those interested, what you describe about the Accounts page without 
running a report is achievable without closing the books.

Adding the column 'Total (period)' to the Accounts page will show only 
the current accounting period (by default 'this year') totals for 
Expenses & Income.

Of course, the balance in the account register is still from the 
beginning of the book in that case. (as is the default 'Total' column on 
the Accounts tab)


Regards,
Adrien
