[Q2002] Changing default currency

Hello !

First, please excuse my English, as it's not my language.

I'm French, and using the last French Quicken release, Quicken 2000. It's getting quite old, and I would like to upgrade to a newer release. I'm currently trying Quicken 2002 out (French Canadian release), and I have three problems :

1) I'm trying to change the default currency from Canadian Dollar to Euro. In the online help it's said to open the currency list, select the currency I want and click on "Origine" (sorry I don't know how it's called in the English version). The problem is that I can see no "Origine" button !!!!

2) I tried to load my Franch Quicken 2000 QDF file, but it failed with nothing more than "Cannot open the file, it needs to be converted first". If I try to convert it, it fails with "Cannot open the file". Does anyone know if Quicken can convert files from an older *foreign* release ?

3) I downloaded my data into QIF files and uploaded them. Now I have some date problems. Transaction dates are wrong (from 18/07/2005 to 18/07'05 (18th of July 2005). Do you think this is because of the french date format (DD/MM/YYYY) and i there a way I can solve this ?

Thank you very much,

Carine

PS : i didn't find any french-speaking canadian newsgroup for Quicken. Is there one ?

Carine - I can't help at all with your technical questions, but let me tell you there's absolutely no need for you to apologize for your English up front. I wish I could speak my native language as well as you seem to speak English, your second. Very impressive.

I searched in the group's archives (i discovered how you say "home currency" a bit late ;-)), and it seems I'm not the first one encountering that problem..... and that there is no solution :-(

Quicken.

Really ? Thank you very much !!!!

It's much harder when I have to *speak* lol
