in my file I have: <gnc:account version="2.0.0"> <act:name>Root Account</act:name> <act:id type="guid">d59619a832484e5b9ea20231801ceb25</act:id> <act:type>ROOT</act:type> </gnc:account> I have changed it to: <gnc:account version="2.0.0"> <act:name>Root Account</act:name> <act:id type="guid">d59619a832484e5b9ea20231801ceb25</act:id> <act:type>ROOT</act:type> <act:commodity> <cmdty:space>CURRENCY</cmdty:space> <cmdty:id>EUR</cmdty:id> </act:commodity> </gnc:account> unfortunately it made no discernible difference :-( Ove On Fri, 9 Aug 2019 at 21:45, John Ralls <jra...@ceridwen.us> wrote: > > Ove, > > Your book currency is the currency set on the invisible Root account, set > in the New Account Hierarchy Assistant (or not if you didn't use that > assistant to set up your book).
