Where is the Update Button on Currency List?

A Quicken Windows Tips article dated 28 Mar 2022 states:

Get more information about currencies
Do you need to know the exchange rate for the U.S. dollar versus other currencies? You can quickly pull up a list using Ctrl+Q or going to the Tools menu and selecting Currency List. The Currency List provides the exchange rate and symbol for over thirty major world currencies. Be sure to click the Update button on the Currency List screen to get the latest exchange rates.

However, I do not have an update button on the Currency List in my version of Quicken (R39.23 Build 27.1.39.23) which supposedly is the latest version - see attached screen shot.

I just remembered!

The Deluxe edition of Quicken has multiple currency support, but it doesn't have downloading of the current exchange rates.  You need Premier or above to get the update.

Yes, I know it was a big surprise when it was first reported.  It definitely seems wrong to allow one without the other, but that is what they did.

Hello @usausie,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community with your question.

The Update button in the Currency List window is located in the bottom-right above the Done button (see below).



However, since you are not seeing this button, could you please try expanding the window to widen it and see if it will show?

Let us know how it goes!

@Quicken Anja Since, in your graphic, the Update button is slightly to the left of the Done button, and the Done button shows correctly in the OP's graphic, I'm unsure about this being a window width issue.

Thanks @Quicke Anja, however, widening the Currency List window does not review the Update button. Aside from the Update button, my Currency List window looks the same as the one you posted.

Can you see the update for currency in the One Step Update settings?

Note that normally people don't go to the Currency List to update the currencies, instead the run One Step Update.

I can't think of any reason why Update isn't on your dialog, but One Step Update might be the workaround.

@Chris_QPW... I have no options to update the Currency List via One Step Update - see attached screen shot.

Thanks Chris_QPW, that is probably the explanation, I am running Deluxe. However, the Product Selector (https://www.quicken.com/product-selector?utm_source=community+link&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=community+cro), nor the original Quicken Windows Tips article (https://www.quicken.com/blog/quicken-window-tips?utm_source=Educational&utm_medium=email_eng&utm_content=001&utm_campaign=EMNF07NA220405&utm_bxid=127005302#currenciesInfo) mentioned the requirement for Premier.
