[GNC] How do I print a transaction register

[David Cousens]

Jerry,

The attached is the screenshot of the toolbar which appears after you
have:
Opened the register for the required account;
Selected View->Filter By from the Menu with the account register open
and set the desired selection options (show all  and/or a desired date
range);
Selected Reports->Account Report (second last item in the list)  from
the menu with the register for the desired account selected immediately
prior;
This should open a report in a tab labelled Register in a new tab
 which has the transactions which were selected for view in the account
register

If you are not seeing anything in the report  but transactions do
appear in the account register  then that is very weird as the Account
Report does not
 have the options normally set by Edit->Report Options for selecting
the date range that most of the other reports in the menu have

If that toolbar does not appear the first item in the View submenu
View->Toolbar needs to be checked i.e. a tick in the selection box to
the right of the submenu entry.
