[GNC] How do i select my checking acct to be able to print it transaction report? Under: reports, transaction report: No acct selected????????

We probably need to keep pointing this out to people new to gnucash 
because it is counter-intuitive (being backwards)

With gnucash you FIRST "run" a report, which brings the report up with 
default settings. Then you use edit=>report options to select the 
options that you want for this run of the report. The report will change 
when you "apply" these changes. They will stay that way as long as the 
report is open (tab still there).  But you can also "save" a report.

Personally, if not leaving a report open, I reset the options that I  
want at the next running of the report to remain conscious of the 
options being used. But that's because personally I am not running with 
many options set. Were I, I'd probably save BUT that introduces the 
potential error of WRONG saved report being brought back (say you have 
several, same report but different options.

NOTE: There are SOME reports where you should always be setting some 
options. For example, the explicit effective dates.
