Heh. I do keep my accounts files on a NFS share (indeed, lots of my ~ lives on my fileserver). Never really thought of it as "the cloud". That term has to me at least, always been the "cloud" shape in network diagrams at the other end of my connection to the internet - meaning the bit I know is there but isn't under my control. However, discussing where the file(s) live doesn't really help with the OP's problem of needing to create several identical reports on several data files, which because the reports work on accountID not name, and the reports are not per-file but global is just plain cumbersome... Amish - the only thing I think I can suggest at this point is that each company has it's own user login - at least that way the list of accounts is not cumbersome.. Or thinking about it, if on linux (may work on Win, probably not on Mac), you could create some shortcuts for each accounts file that sets up a custom environment (i think you need to set GNC_DOT_DIR bit have a good google first) before launching GC so that each company has its own prefs file. probably more cumbersome than a really busy menu, and error-prone, though,,, Maf. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
