Money sucks for world travelers. Now, that is established, the easy
way (if you have no USD history to save) is to go into settings and
make sure every last currency setting is in USD. Then make a new
money file. Close and reopen Money. Make sure it is in USD. Now add
you USD account. You might have to play around and "hide" your old
money file, too. Money can be devious! Money is incompetent at
managing multiple currencies in one file as a user would expect to be
done- there are more problems than solutions.

If you also have Peso accounts the only way to keep your sanity is to
have separate money files, one for each currency. Been there (with
others on this group) and it is The Way.

To select the currency file, instead of opening money, make shortcuts
to the respective .MNY files and rename the shortcuts like Peso and
USD. Names for the MNY files should also be like peso.mny and
usd.mny. Double click on the shortcuts to the files, instead of the
money program, and all will work within that currency as expected.
For backup archive, make subdirectories like peso-backup and usd-
backup, and while using the respective mny files, set the backup
defaults accordingly.

Hi,

I just upgraded to Money2007 and moved to the US. I was able to
successfully add new bank account, Washington Mutual, from the list.
However when I tried to setup the online services I get an error
saying:

"This account uses a different default currency than these statements.
To add statements, go to this account's settings page, be sure it uses
Advanced Register, change the default currency, and then provide your
sign-in information again."

I checked the account and indeed it was in Philippine Peso but I made
the changes.

I did everything it asked me to do but I keep on getting the same
error.

How can I solve this problem? Help. thanks
