I have not had to deal with that, but let me suggest something to
try:

Into the Quantity box type the number of shares. Hit <Tab> <Tab> <Taband enter the commission in CAD$. Then mouse or <Shift> +<Tab> to the
Total box. Key in the price in USD, and press <F8> or right-click to
the currency converter. The total should then be corrected to CAD.
The still-blank Price will then be computed by Money to the correct
CAD amount.

Does that correspond to what you want to accomplish, or have I
misunderstood the problem?

Perhaps a user who actually deals with this can comment on a better
way.

I am using the above software.

I have set up a CAD$ investment account.

I go to enter a US$ SELL transaction, of a US security in
this account.

I right click on the enter field, and enter the currency
conversion factors, then click OK, Money needs to
increase the amount in Canadian Dollars. On a sell
transaction it should adjust the commission to handle the
exchange differences.

Problem is, on a SELL transaction, the net proceeds are
larger in CAD$ than in US$ dollars. Hence the commission
field is negative. Money generates an error
reading "Based on the details of this transaction, the
total should be xxx.xx To adjust the total click OK..."

Has anyone seen this error before, and know the solution
to this? I have been dealing with Microsoft support for
21 days on this, to no avail.

PLease advise. Thanks!
