I'm sorry - but shouldn't a check book register be one in the list of a few reports that are used by all clients?  I just read a page of instructions on how to create a report that does not answer my questions.  Why should I develop a report and have to save it - and why wouldn't you want to save it after you spent an hour on trying to figure it out. 

Come on QB.  Give us a Check Register Report.  You do it and save for the rest of us.  Shouldn't take long or be too hard.
