MacMoney is confusing in this respect - there are two screens that come
up for transaction reports. The first one is to set SOURCE categories
(really account types) - you should leave that set to ALL categories.
On the second screen, select the category you wish in the appropriate
place (I forget whether you can select more than one category).

Hope this helps
