Dear friends,
I'm the admin of an african mission Diocese. I'm living in Zambia where 1000 of the local currency (Kwacha) is worth 0,12 Pound (or 0,176 Euro): depending on the political winds :-)
However this leads to a management of very long numbers.
I'm using Quickbooks Pro 2003 - with multicurrency ON. And I'm suffering really much. The problems since last week where confined in the annoying "overflow" message in some totals of the reports. I worked around this exporting to Excel and sometimes manually updating some fields after zooming into the register (definitely not fair for a 400 $ software !).
The big problem came last week when the data file didn't pass the "verification".
I tried to rebuild: nothing. I went throug the QBWIN.log and I found that one of my Income accounts was overflowing.
I saw there are others threads (dated 2001 to 2005) where a gentlemen from Indonesia was claiming the same so maybe, after 5 years some solution has been found.
I went for upgrade but I've been told that even the new version 2007 doesn't solve this problem.
So I'm looking for:
a) any kind of workaround
b) an hot fix
c) Tips and tricks
I do not know if Intuit has realized the potential market in Developing countries, where multicurrency is a must and 14 digits figures, due to pour local currencies, are strongly required.
NGO's are able to cope with your license prices, given that your product is workable ... !
Thank you very much for your help
