Forign currency accounts are showing with an equivalent value in my 
default currency now

But my report still shows 0.- for my report currency (which is not my 
computer's local currency). Normally I only llok at the "report currency 
(CNY)" but in order to find the cause I played around with the report 
settings a little. I can display my accounts currencie's value $ or EUR 
when I choose "Show Foreign Currencies" but it's not being exchanged. 
the report currency shows a 0.- for those accounts. Also no exchange 
rate is being shown when I mark 'Show Exchange Rates'. So I guess I need 
to teach my report to look at the price editors exchange rates (which 
apparantely the "Accounts" tab is doing successfully). Any idea how to 
achive that?
