[GNC] How to quickly select an Account for a Transaction Report?

[Tom Route-36]

Hi Sherlock,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Going to the account register does let me 
select an Account Report.  The problem with that though is that it gives 
me every transaction back to the beginning of time (or in my case the 
past 20+ years).  How would I select a report from within the account 
register that shows just the current year's transactions?

Tom
