Ah, right. The preference is labelled "Accounting period" and when I set
up all my preferences I didn't connect that in my mind with reports. But
I agree that reports seem to default to "accounting period", so the
preference you mention is a de facto global setting.

Or at least it would be, if I hadn't set all my reports to last year or
last month or this year or this month. :-) I'll go and change the
reports' options (back) to "accounting period" when I get a chance.
