An alternative way (easier way) access to Report Designer is go to the related document/report menu, e.g. Sales > Invoice,
Click on File menu:
Save...: to save current report format using its current name.
Save As...: to save current report format using another name.
Load From File...: to load (copy) a report format from other location (or any storage device).
Save To File...: to save the current report format to a location or storage device.
Example: You have modified the original invoice format, and Save As Invoice-01... after some time you retrieved and modified the report format of Invoice-01 again and Save it. To make the same report format available for another account book, you retrieved the format of Invoice-01 and Save To File (let's say save to D:\Report), logon to another account book, retrieve any report format and use Load From File to copy the format (from D:\Report), then Save As (use any name) onto that account book.
Import...: this is used to import report format from older version of AutoCount Accounting (AutoCount Premier 3.5).
Export Scripts...: To export report scripts to Visual Studio.
Import Scripts...: To import report scripts that was done in Visual studio.
