Re: [GNC] reports not working unless exported
Michael, The tax report is different from every other report; it loads account data directly upon running. This is due to the fact that it relies on the user pre-assigning accounts (Phyllis's categories) to tax lines in advance. Otherwise, your advice is spot on. David T.

Okay, I can't stand it anymore. I don't know what ubuntu is, or flatpak, or a host of other terms you use. I run windows and the latest version. Embarrassed that I've not looked to documentation, but would that help me or do I need to know? I will go to documentation to learn about the tax report. There is obviously something I'm not seeing but I did notice that when I chose "Report Options" Start and end of accounting period, last year I got one expense category for 2022. I have so far been unable to add other income or expense categories. I know it's in the documentation and I will find it.

For whatever reason, after the last set of updates to Ubuntu, the Flatpak package program did not update 4 files (looked like system files and one video driver).

Jeff, I seem to recall just doing a "Flatpak Update" fixed an issue with blank reports a little while ago - from memory it updated something else but I don't remember the details.

I went to generate some reports for the year 2022 and not one of the standard reports will work within GNC now. Explain what you mean by "will not work" Are you having a DATE problem?
