foreign currencies are shown as 0.- in default currency reports

[Dave H]

I ran the "Account Summary" report  on my system and it shows toe foreigh
currencies ok - there is a "Commodities" tab on the report options and it
has a check box called "Show Foreign Currencies" which is checked on for
the report.  I suggest you re-run the report(s) and when they display the
output then click on the "Options" icon at the top of the page and check
the report options - you have to run the report BEFORE you can update the
options.  In my case the "Report's Currency" is set to "AUD (Australian
Dollar) which is my local currency and the "Show Foreign Currencies" is
also checked on.  This will need to be setup for each report - once it's
running as you want it to I guess you'll have to click the "Save Report
Configuration" to make it permanent until you want to change the options
again ?

Cheers Dave H.
