This assumes that the exchange rate applies to all transactions made on a given day, which I hope is *NOT* the case. All I want is the ability to modify the exchange rate applied to the transaction on the screen - *NOT* to modify any others. (In fact, automagically linking other transactions on the same day to the exchange rate is worryingly close to being a bug in itself). cheers, Rich. > >>cheers, Rich. > > Hope this help to get around this trouble. > > I do not know if this will help for closing this bug. > > Regards, > > Gerardo Reynoso > -- rich walker | Shadow Robot Company | [EMAIL PROTECTED] technical director 251 Liverpool Road | need a Hand?
