Ken, GnuCash should, by default, set those preferences to match your
computer's locale. If you are in Canada, unless you have a good reason
to use a different one, your OS should be set to Canada as your locale.
Then these preferences wouldn't be an issue.

Adrien

Ultimately, it did turn out to be a currency issue. When I started using
gnucash (way back in version 2), I never specified or worried about
currency, because everything I did was in Canadian dollars, and all the
reports worked as anticipated. Somewhere along the line, there must have
been a change involving how currency was used to generate reports (or maybe
I specified something as Canadian dollars that I should have left alone).
In any case, once I ensured that all my accounts were set to Canadian
dollars, and the currency of choice on the commodities tab of the report
options was set to Canadian dollars, all the reports started to work again
as I had hoped.
However, for a while I was going into the options/commodities every time I
ran a report to switch the currency to CAD. Under the
Edit/Preferences/Accounts tab, I had default currency set to 'choose' and
'CAD (Canadian dollar')', but it took me a while to realize that I also had
to do this under Edit/Preferences/Reports as well.
