Qbooks has the easiest and most forgiving report writer I have used in 40
years as a CPA and computer guru. Most problems relate to new users 
not knowing the report to use or how to use Customize, Filter & Memorize.
These are properly only used after the initial report. 

For complete freedom get the cheap OfficeQ QB to Access program at
http://blocktax.com/ (Quickbooks) Add-ons. Then you can use Access, 
Crystal Reports, Frx or other report writers. For a cheaper one step solution
try ReportWiz on this site.

It is no secret. You can use a general ledger or a transaction detail report.
Always bear in mind that Qbooks features satisfy around 80% of the small
business accounting program users. Therefore, they will probably satisfy 
you if you learn them, which is exceptionally EASY.  QB reports are EASY 
to create, EASY to change and powerful, especially since most will let you 
drill down (click on amounts and you get the transactions that make them up).

Note: My standard for easy reports goes back to very old electronic punch 
card equipment. Reports then involved connecting 300+ wires to points on
yard square boards (after punching and lots of sorting).
