David, Thanks for your insights. When I started my Chart of Accounts, I thought I had set it to C$ but it was in US$ an dI had to go back and change them to C$. Maybe I missed one or two of them. I was not aware of the Locale option. Where would I find it and would it change all of my accounts or do I have to apply it individually?
Larry PS I copied the list with this, I hope that is ok with you.
