that? Are you referring to the spb finance as referenced in the
February UK postings?

Did you uninstall spb finance and/or
Start-> Programs-> Accessories-> SystemTools-> SystemRestore to a point
before you installed spb finance?

well I thought that would have done the trick. I still get the same error
though. I even looked through the rest of the currencies and changed ones
that had been switch to symbols. Is there any way to set those all to the
defaults?
I uninstalled and reinstalled money which I thought would have done that but
no luck.

Thanks mark. I check that setting and it is set to US.

Thanks Cal. Those all check out. The one that was a little different was my
401(k) account. It has no section for what type of currency in the accounts
settings.

When I update only one account at a time it says the same message for each
account even though they are done one at a time.

I recently installed spb finance so I wonder if that screwed me up a bit. I
e-mail their support to see if they have any thoughts but have not heard
back.

Additionally, don't forget to check to see if Window's Regional Setting got
set to something other than US:
Start - Control Panel - Regional Settings (or Regional and Language Options)

First, here a few things to check that are probably not going to be
the cause of the problem, but are worth checking anyway:

Tools-> Settings-> ProgramSettings-> UpdateCurrencies, and in the list,
make sure the entry for United States US dollar says BASE in the
ExhangeRate column.

Portfolio-> Change portfolio settings and be sure Portfolio Currency
is shown as "US dollar".

For the Account Settings for each account, make sure the Currency is
listed as "US dollar".

Assuming those checked out, I would try to isolate which update is
causing the problem. For this, I would go to AccountList-> UpdateNow,
and de-select all but one account. See if you get the error
associated with a single account. If so, then consider posting the
financial institution involved. Depending on the access type, there
could be a logging process that could give some info.

I have MS money 2005 and my online updates have been working great for about
a year now. Recently online updates stopped working. I get no error I only
get a message that says "Money needs an exchange rate for currency is one or
more accounts." The only thing is I have not changed anything and all my
accounts are in US dollars. I can run just the Quotes and exchange rates
update and that works but my other accounts will still not update because
they keep saying the need an exchange rate. Has anyone seen this or know how
to fix it?
