Will Deluxe work with British Pounds Sterling?

Jay Schmidt

I recently moved to the UK. I still have account stateside and added couple accounts in United Kingdom. Will QUicken Deluxe work with multiple currencies?

QMac can work with multiple currencies ... but you won't be able to download from UK banks/cards/etc into it because NONE of the UK financial institutions have signed contracts with Q/Intuit to provide such.

I have windows version, will that work with GBP? And how do I find it to change?

First off you have to have Deluxe or above.  Premier allows downloading of the current exchange rates, Deluxe doesn't. To turn on multiple currency support select:
Edit -> Preferences -> Calendar and currency, select Multicurrency support.

Once that is on you will see the currency list in the Tools menu.  Note that currency is at the account level.  You can also change the Home currency on the currency list dialog.

You posted in a QMac topic, which is why I gave a QMac reply.  I'll flag a Mod to move this.

I see the currency list. But do I have to change it in every account? Or will it stay USD in the accounts I still have in USA?

Once an account is setup, you can't change the currency in it.
For accounts created after turning on multiple currency support it will ask you which currency you want.  That is provided you setting them up for manual entry since Quicken Windows US only supports downloading from US financial institutions in USD.

How about accounts set up before turning currency?

And how do I change a current account?

As said, you can't change the currency once it is setup.  You will have to create a new account.
