If you are hoping to have your own account selections as a personal “default”, rename the report (on the General tab) and click "Save Report Configuration As.” Your custom settings will now be available under Reports->Saved Report Configurations. HTH, David > On Jul 15, 2017, at 5:21 AM, Adrie

John,  I seem to have misunderstood. I thought you said you were only trying to store the data file on the flash drive; this sounds like you are trying to store the entire application there.  Storing the data file is trivial, but trying to load the entire application is another story. Since I am

Yes, ‘default’ is the state of an option that is chosen by the programmers. It is not your default, but theirs. So clicking it restores the options to their original ‘default’ state. Note, the button says ‘select’ default, not ‘set’ default. By clicking the button, you are not telling GnuCash t

Jumping in a little late here. It occurs to me that all my dividend transactions are simple ones, with an income account split, and a brokerage cash account split. In other words, money comes from the income account (e.g., Income:Dividends) and goes to the brokerage account (Assets:Brokerage) .

I guess it's lucky that John only wants to load his data from the flash drive, then. John, be aware that GnuCash always tries to load the last file it had open; if the folder isn't available when you fire it up, you will receive an error. Just be sure the USB stick is inserted and mounted befor
