You’re welcome.
Note as well, the Help Guide documents each menu in each context. While it may
seem rather mundane at first, there are a few gems to glean from looking it
over. This was one I stumbled on a while back and noticed that the menu entries
change depending on the current tab.

My Question: Wikipedia list numerous definitions for SFX... in this case what?
(Self Extracting Software or what?)

I would say consider the criteria you used to create the set of transactions
for each report, then try to craft a report using the options that gives you
only those that don’t lie in the joint set.
If *every* transaction on both reports is between two and only the *same two*
accounts then you
I want to compare Transaction Report A to Transaction Report B
and find transactions that appear on one report but not on the other... aka
orphan transactions
In past I have either...
