My business is now starting to sell in Europe. Currently I have an
Invoicing system based on dollars. Has anyone good advice on how to
set up my Invoicing system so that it can reflect other currencies?

Should I avoid formatting my fields and qualify the currency another
way?

Thanks

You should probably leave all your invoices in dollars. Trying to play
in two currencies is going to get messy. (eg. summary reports would
have to work out what exchange rate to use to get only dollar amounts,
etc.). Besides, "Europe" is a big place with many different countries
and many different currencies, so that would get even messier.

BUT, if it's a VERY VERY simple invoice-only system, then you can
change the formatting of amount fields to be only two decimal places,
and then use a pop-up menu to give each incoive record the appropriate
symbol (you can then use copies or merge versions of the same field to
display the syumbol wherever needed) ... then the problem of cleaning
up the mess is transferred to your accounting system instead. :o)
