Hi Peter, Derek

thanks for your replies.  At least I understand the situation.

In the meantime, I don't have any choice but to create alternative accounts
in the new currency.  It's a pain and time consuming, but will do the job.

Hopefully the function will be reinserted in time for other countries'
conversions.

regards
Ivan
