I doesn't in my case. I have about 20 old values for EUR and it's definitely using the latest - if I add another one the valuation changes. Most of them are "user:xfer-dialog" and only the latest is "user:price-editor". And I now have two "Finance::Quote" entries for GET.PA and it's using the later one of those. I just added (manually) another GET.PA entry with a silly price and yes, the value was updated to match. Adding another one dated 2012 made no difference. So I have no idea where your discrepancy came from, sorry. Can you see a EUR entry that matches the implied exchange rate? > (B) It's not clear from my original post but my "real" version of > gnuCash has a different structure from the version I described.

I take it you are referring to the account hierarchy. I can't think why that would affect the value shown in the Accounts tab for a single entry. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
