Hello David, tnx for the confirmation. It was only that I had another GNUCash installed on another machine, totally separate that I concluded that was probably the issue. It was also that when changing a report configuration, it never asked to save the file, as it does when one changes a transaction. I thought then it must be elsewhere and save automatically.
Where are the configs saved; is it amongst the User files of windows? I would have thought that Configs were fundamental to each work book and wonder why that was never a default? Thank you for being prompt with the reply.

Your only recoourse is to create separate user logins at the operating system, and log in to each user account when you wish to access a particular GnuCash book and its reports.
