Basic questions

I have a few very old Quicken versions that can't handle multi-
currency situations.

I'm a Canadian looking to purchase Quicken (Canadian version).

I simply want to be able to set up $CAN accounts and $US accounts
(checking and investments, GIC's RRSP's etc.)

The accounts would function on their own, using their respective
currencies.

But I also need to transfer monies between the $CAN and $US accounts
and so need to be able to change the currency rate, on-the-fly, and do
the transfers.

Surely all of this has now been implemented and is a piece of cake
with Quicken?

Which Canadian version would you recommend, that has this feature?

TIA

This functionality has been in Quicken Canadian versions for a number
of years.

Currency exchangre rates can be automatically updated on a daily basis
with the normal security/quotation updates. Transferring from Can to
US account automatically factors in the exchange rate .... you can
overwrite the exchange rates if you so desire.

I have used this feature for a number of years.
