Yes, it does. I guess I need to play more with the settings. I need to ferret out the transactions that are not the common ones, I tend to use about 4-5 (fuel, groceries etc) expense accounts for discretionary spending, the rest usually are liabilities or accounted for in paying bills. It's

Can I have a saved report 'saved' to my dropbox folder? I'm sure I can move it there, but will gnucash look for it where it was last saved, or will it only look in the normal location? I use multiple devices and need it across those. D ___ gnucash-user
