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

[Sherlock]

Hi Tom,

Open the account register, right-click on a transaction and select 
Filter By..., set the desired date range, then select Report > Account 
Report.

If you do want to use Report > Transaction Report and the account name 
is unique, you go to Report Options, select all the accounts on the 
Account tab and provide the account's name on the Filter tab.

Regards,

Sherlock
