<p>Thanks for your message and I apologise for the lack of official response. I've just pushed build 1852 to the preview site which includes extensive changes to the currency/security rates and prices handling which I believe resolve these problems. Would you mind downloading it from the link below and letting me know if it doesn't solve the problem for you?</p>

<p>Thanks for this.</p>
<p>It works much better. My only comments are that it now shows the base currency on the summary page - I assume this is intended. Also I clicked on Tools/CurrencyEuro and it initially showed a zero current value. I corrected it and everything seems fine now.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>Moneydance now does pretty much everything I need, except update currencies and security prices, but I don't think is doable now?</p>
<p>Regards<br>

Hi Bob</p>
<p>Glad Sean has fixed your issue.</p>
<p>There are two methods within Moneydance for obtaining security prices and exchange rates automatically.</p>
<p>The extension “Quote and Exchange Rate updater. See under EXTENSIONS – MANAGE – EXTENSIONS V1024. For exchange rates use the source European Central Bank. If your securities are in the US try IEX Trading first, if that does not support a security try Alpha Vantage. Alpha Vantage also cover some securities outside the US, but is very, very slow.</p>
<p>If the Quote and Exchange Rate updater does not work well for you try the free third-party Quote Loader.</p>
<p>For 2019 see post 27 at <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/investments/4039-quote-loa">http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/investments/4039-quote-loa</a>...</p>
<p>It has far wider coverage and is fast.</p>
<p>Download the PDF attached to this post and have a read. To get an overview take a look at the YouTube video by using the link in the PDF.</p>
<p>Let us know how you get on or if you need help just post.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/467970642019-01-28T15:48:00Z2019-01-28T15:48:01ZBase Currency<div><p>Derek</p>

Hi Bob</p>
<p>I am in the UK as well.</p>
<p>As your securities are traded on the London market the free third party Quote Loader is ideal for you, as one of the sources used is FT.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/467970642019-01-29T17:00:30Z2019-01-29T17:00:31ZBase Currency<div><p>Hi Derek</p>

<p>Having deleted the moneydance from the second computer, I am trying to open the sync file from dropbox. I can’t get moneydance to see it. I have unhidden the files in finder but MD can’t see them.</p>
<p>Suggestions would be welcome.</p>
<p>Regards<br>

Hi Bob</p>
<p>You need to explain in more detail.<br>
What do you mean by "Having deleted the moneydance from the second computer". The program itself, its data set ,what?<br>
What are you trying to do?<br>
When you say " I am trying to open the sync file from Dropbox. I can’t get moneydance to see it" how are you doing that. Is it your second computer you are trying to sync to your primary computer?</p>
<p>Ae you trying to set up syncing, if so suggest using Dropbox folder method see <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/syncing-and-sharing-data">http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/syncing-and-sharing-data</a></p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/467970642019-01-29T19:18:51Z2019-01-29T19:18:52ZBase Currency<div><p>Thanks - working now. I was using Dropbox Folder, but was trying to open an existing file rather than new and then open sync file.</p>
