If you use Linux, there can be an issue with webkitgtk that can result in blank reports.  Starting Gnucash with compositing disabled for webkitgtk will usually fix the blank report problem. Use the following command in a terminal to start Gnucash and see if the problem is corrected:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash

(Or WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash if you use flatpak)

If that allows you to see the reports, then setting the environmental variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" will fix it.

Plenty of discussion on this in the email archives.

I believe you have found it!  I was able to print to a PDF file and see my report!

And yes, my laptop does have an Nvidia Graphics Card.  Does anyone here know the secret work around?

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.

Hmm.  sounds like the correct sequence of steps to me, Jerry. The "filter by..." step is kinda optional...but that is the correct way to date-limit the report.  if you can see transactions in the Share Draft Account register tab,
the Account Report should pick them up.

I wonder.....Long shot....

Some Linux systems with some Nvidia graphics cards have a weird interaction
that leads to reports being shown completely blank.

follow the steps again, but then from the "blank" report tab, try printing the report to a PDF file.  Then see if that PDF has any content.  If it does, then someone on here will be able to adivse a cheat to work around the glitch.

HTH,
Maf.
