I didn't really expect there to be a way, but I'd have felt like an idiot if I didn't ask and then later found out I could have done this the easy way. To Michael's point, setting specific dates, that's not as convenient, but maybe saving one report with two sets of options will reduce the amount of date selection I have to do, even if it doesn't reduce it to zero. (I might have to do that anyway; I have no idea what would happen when a saved report configuration that selected all of the accounts in one book is run on another book that has completely different accounts. But I'll be finding out shortly.) My workload's already less than it was, because I no longer have to fire up a VM to do the nonprofit's bookkeeping. (Plus, the books open and save much faster, and reports come up faster.) While I was at GC 2.6.19, it was at GC 4.13; now both are at GC 4.14. And when 5.4 comes out they'll both be at 5.4.
