Hi Mark,

I am having a little trouble with foreign currencies. I want to make the default currency the Cdn dollar and I am not clear on how to do this. Second I am having trouble finding symbols for currencies on Yahoo. I looked up the currencies and they say to use a format that looks as follows USDCAD=X. But when I try to retrieve the currency using this symbol it says it cannot find it. You suggested ^ccd as the Cdn dollar symbol and this works fine but I also want to use Euros, Pounds, HK dollars, Yen, Australian dollars, Danish Kroner, Irish Punts and New Zealand dollars. When I looked up these currencies in Yahoo they use the sam USDCAD=X format but I cannot get any of them to retreive prices.

Hope you can help. Your other tips have worked nicely.

Thanks, Lance
