Hi, I went back and checked preferences and Accounts was set to Locale but showed US$. I changed it to C$ and that did not affect the Budget. I have now set it to Locale and $C and the dialog box says it will affect all future actions, still no effect on the Budget. I guess I need to check all of my accounts now to ensure they are consistent. That is probably a task for th weekend.
