Multi-Currency

Hey guys,
In the SLX Administrator, I'm wondering where the "Enable Multi-Currency" boolean data is stored in the database.
Open up SLX Administrator >> Manage >> Currency. Multi-Currency is located in the 'Options' section.
Thank you,
Jerry

Even if you know.. it's not that simple.. once a db has been changed to MC.. that's it... no supported way to go back. .. or change the "base".
It's NOT a boolean.. it's what the value is in SYSTEMINFO.BASECURRENCY (or not)

| I have yet to find anyone who has successfully used MultiCurrency in a way that their organization has found to be useful, and still maintain that it was implemented by Sage in a backwards manner. |

There are certainly some holes in it.. MC is just a nasty thing to deal with.. period...

Hi Rick - I've not used MC much before and would be interested to hear in a little more detail what you mean.
Cheers

Hmm, that's not very comforting. hehe.
Here's what I am trying to do:
I am working on a third party plugin that allows the user to select what currency they'd like to use. I'd like that data to default to the currency that is stored for the current user in the USEROPTIONS table...which I've done, but I'd like to add logic that would hide the currency selection combo box if 'enable multi-currency' has never been checked.
Can I just say if Systeminfo.basecurrency <> null? Would that work the same as I am trying to do?
Thank you,

Probably.... otherwise you have to look at (Slx internal) Global variables...
