Hello there, @Mary - APS.

Thanks for posting your concern here in the Community. Allow me to step in for a moment and help make sure that you can open a transaction within a report in QuickBooks Desktop.

@qbteachmt is right. Also, I want to ensure that everything's covered so you can open a transaction within a report, may I know what specific report you're referring to? You can leave a comment below to add more details. This will help me provide the best resolution for your concern.

I'm looking forward to your response, @Mary - APS. Take care and have a good one.
