Multiple currencies in GnuCash, Vol 79, Issue 27

[Timothy Wight]

If you are going to run accounts for a public or private limited company 
operating in a multicurrency environment, you will find it a bit of a 
struggle!

Else If you are going to run your personal accounts with expenditure in 
multicurrency but never going to be audited, its a walk in the park!

Else, something in-between

> I am a little disconcerted by the recent remarks, both in the issue 
> mentioned above and also several weeks ago, about the difficulties of 
> using GnuCash with multiple currencies.
> As an American living in Switzreland, this is an essential feature for 
> me.  I was planning to migrate to GnuCash from a no longer supported 
> OEM version of Quicken 2001, which Intuit customized for UBS.  After 
> reading about the pain some users are having with multi-currency, I'm 
> not so sure anymore.  UBS Quicken is easy to use, but has a few 
> annoying quirks and no way of downloading data, since UBS discontinued 
> support.
> If GnuCash isn't the answer, what is?
> Who is using GnuCash successfully in a multi-currency environment, and 
> what kind of hoops must I jump through to get there?
> TIA for any feedback!
