Currency table corrupted (by me, I think)

[Using Qkn Dlx 08 R7 on Vista Ultimate 32-bit]

Deleted from currency table several currencies no longer in use in real world (i.e. Greek Drachma, French Franc) to make it easier for me to traverse the table as I travel.

Unfortunately, Qkn seems to remember the relative position of a currency in the table (vs. actual order), so when converting Euros to US Dollars I wind up with results as if I had been converting Indian Rupees.

Have backups galore, but have made a lot of entries and downloads and would hate to repeat them.

Any way to "straighten out" Qkn or put back the original table?

Thanks.

I don't think your theory is correct. I did a quick test, deleting a security,then adding it back. The fact that it changed positions in the Currency List did not seem to have any effect on Quicken's ability to find and use the correct currency record. I also deleted another currency and had Quicken convert using the currency in the list that had been right after the currency I deleted; Quicken got the conversion correct.

You can probably restore the original currency list by turning off "multi-currency support" then turning it back on again. Backup first.

I'd be more inclined to think you have some corruption, possibly in the currency list. If so, and since you'd rather not have the non-existant currencies, you could also try making a Quicken "Copy" of your data and Validating that Copy, then testing in the Validated Copy. If things work correctly in the Validated Copy, make that your regular file.
