Help? (it is unclear what your question might be)

Some reports are always "as of some date" (example; Balance Sheet) and 
others are always for some date range, start date and end date (example; 
Income Statement).

I would always be wanting the report to show date or rang and so set in 
report options for THAT running of the report. Using dates set at some 
other level allows for the error "report not actually run for the 
date/dates you thought it was run for. Accounting is not "real time" but 
"effective time/date".

Note that "cash flow" is showing a different view of activity during a 
period than "profit and loss". You can be OK in terms of one of these 
but in trouble in terms of the other.
