Hi William,
This seems a very, very eloquent solution (except that yen would be
1.0 and USD would be 1.2). ^^_^^
I will rush to try it. Before I do, however, can I use 'OR' in the
routine (more than one 'yen' database exists). For example:
if (GetDatabaseName() == "XYZ") x = 1.2; else if (GetDatabaseName()
== "YYY" OR "QQQ" OR "ZZZ") x = 1.0;
In this case, "XYZ" would be a USD database, of which I anticipate
having only one, and the other names would be yen denominated
databases, of which I currently have 3, and might add a 4th. It
would be best if I could just say 'if "XYZ", 1.2; else anything else,
1.0'. Can I write it that way? If so, can you give me an example of
that?
Thanks!
Yuki
