Thanks Bryan, from a grateful Aussie. I took your flex files and copied them into /usr/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/reports/ I then renamed invoice.scm as invoice-old.scm and so on for the other two. Then I renamed the invoice-flex.scm as invoice.scm and so on for the other two. On booting gnucash, however, the program would not now start. Is there a conflict with a config file somewhere now? Looking for guidance with eager anticipation of a good result.
