I suppose she could try using just one bank after all they're suppose to be able to handle the exchange rate. Good Luck. --+-- Wayne D. Johnson Ashland, OH, USA 44805 http://www.wavijo.com
Re: [H] Multuple currencies in finance program
That's only good if your pulling from one to the other. If she's maintaining both accounts you don't want to involve the exchange rate at all. Sounds like there needs to be a International version that maintains separate base currency data for each account rather than per application. Maybe a per user rather per machine install would let 2 versions of Quicken be loaded on the same PC thus coexist w/o interaction.

Re: [H] Multuple currencies in finance program
is it possible to set up multiple accounts in the program ? one for Canada and one for US . Just a thought. At 08:11 PM 2/18/2006, Brian Weeden Poked the stick with: My fiancee is Canadian with accounts in both Canada and America. She is trying to find a program to do financial stuff with like Money Quicken that can handle accounts in both. She started with Quicken 2006 because it said it handled multiple currencies but then found out it can only download info from American banks. So she grabbed the Canadian version of Quicken and found out it can only handle Canadian banks. Of course they both install using the same configs and stuff so when she installed both everything got fubard. So, long story short, anyone know of a finance program that will allow you to download info from accounts in multiple currencies? -- Brian -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Life is a yo-yo, and mankind ties knots in the string.
