Hi William,

Thanks for that, it really helps. On the options button I was able to 
select the currency for the report.

One question, though. There is no "commodities" tab (I am using the 
Transactions Report for each individual account that I need to make a 
report on), so I do not have any way to select "Nearest in Time" for the 
currency exchange rates. How do I know that the exchange rate the report 
is using for each individual line item is the nearest in time, if I 
cannot set that?
