[GNC] How do I print a transaction register

[Jerry Criswell (JC)]

I have messed with these instructions (see below) a few times since 2/15 
trying to get an actual report with no luck.  Now I will take you 
step-by-step  through those instructions and hope we find what I am not 
understanding.

I have opened a list of my accounts in one tab and I have opened my 
share draft/checking account in another tab next to it. No other tabs 
open.  The goal is to print a list of transactions from my share draft 
account from Mar 1 thru today (Mar 9).  I understand this page can also 
be called a transaction register.

Your next instruction says Selected View-Filter By. I take this to mean 
Select View-Filter By so I do that.  The share draft register is open 
and has the focus of GC.  I select my date range.  Leaving this little 
range selection open, I Select Reports - Account Report and it does open 
a tab called Register but it is blank.  So I went back and started over, 
called up Filter By.  It stil showed the set up, so I clicked OK at the 
bottom.  Blank screen.

I hope this helps you help me in some way.  Your instructions seem 
logical and clear to me.  Over the years I have found it is not uncommon 
at all for the instructions to say "go here, do this and you will see 
that" and you see something else.

As a reminder I am running Linux Mint 22.3 and GC 5.14.

I now have a tool bar.  It was not checked in the view menu.
