<p>I am sorry for the delay in responding to you r enquiry. Things
have been rather hetic lately on the forum.</p>
<p>When you enter a transaction in your UK account you can set the
exchange rate of the transaction in the field directly underneath
the Payment field. See the attached screen shot.</p>
<p>I believe the trouble with the security values being multiplied
by 100 is that in the uk version of Quicken uk stocks are priced in
pence with a currency set to GBP. I'd have to have a look at your
qif file to be sure but I think quicken is exporting the data in a
qif file such that it is telling Moneydance that a 100 pence item
is 100 pounds. If this is the case I believe this is a bug in
quicken. And you would have to modify the price history in
Moneydance by hand.</p>
<p>Would you attach your qif file so I can verify this. I have made
this discussion private to protect your privacy.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>
<p>Ben Spencer</p></div>Ben Spencertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/3246652009-08-30T17:30:17Z2009-08-30T17:30:21ZMigrating from Quicken 2000 UK version<div><p>Hi Ben - thanks for your response. I have managed to enter the
actual exchange values and amounts for transfers between different
currency accounts. I delete the transaction and then reenter with
new values using required exchange rate manually calculated. I
thought that I had done it before but then lost the changes when I
went back in a new session. It seems that it is essential to delete
and reenter rather than attempt to edit.</p>
<p>I have also made some progress with Security transactions. The
portfolio view does show pounds for pennies but the register
recognises that the price was pence and moves decimal place - so my
registers appear to be ok but the portfolio value makes me very
wealthy! (X £100). I've gone through one investment account
(which started in 1998), the QIF file was from 1 Sept 2005 so I
manually entered the one earlier security still held, purchased in
1998 and adjusted cash balance b/f up.<br>
It is reconciled.</p>
<p>I'm finding it difficult moving around MD - how do I get back to
home page, if I use "see other side of transfer" I lose the option
to select another account from dropdown at top left. Am I missing
something? Can I have frequently used accounts displayed as in Q.
Quicken was much easier in this respect.</p>
<p>Finally when (if?) I get my data from 2005 transferred will I be
able to migrate the old data across piecemeal? say a year at a
time, or one account at a time.</p>
<p>Thanks again - Mike</p></div>mike.palletttag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/3246652009-08-31T13:16:56Z2009-08-31T13:16:56ZMigrating from Quicken 2000 UK version<div><p>Hi Mike</p>
<p>I am sorry this is proving to by quite as muh trouble as it
is.</p>
<p>When you click "Show other side" for a transaction the
transaction register for the other side should pop open in a new
sub window. Clicking on the main window again gives you the option
to move back to the home page.</p>
