Hello helpers! Happy holidays.  Not sure when this might be seen … but crossing my fingers. Ive used GNC for a few months in MacOS.  I’ve figured out how to do basic reporting by editing the standard options. i now need help in literally selecting the accounts for my new income statement.  It would be easy if the accounts were all contiguous in my chart of accounts and I’d simply select the relevant group. However, i have a group of expenses that I want to match with an income account.  I can select each set but not both …to “selectively select”  I’ve tried things like holding down shift key so i can skip to only relevant accounts.  Is there a simple shift/option/control/command whatever set of keystrokes i need to know?   

I hope that makes sense.  Anyway, y’all have a happy holiday and I’m very grateful for those who invest time in helping others.  I’ll try to pay it forward,

A

I realized later that the other significant event today was that I updated my Mac software just before this happened, so this appears to be a new security feature … anyway I’m super grateful for you taking time to help me out. Have a wonderful weekend,

Id never been asked that before and in the interests of security said no.  Of course now when I tried to open my data file it refuses and says it doesn’t have permission!  UGH how can I correct this?  Thanks in advance for all who support this product
