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.

David

This is a known issue with how GnuCash handles saved reports, and has been 
around a long time. 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.
