After you sign up for the XE.com Currency Exchange Rate Service from XE.com and download and record the license number in System Settings, you can begin using the service.
Several new buttons display on the Daily Exchange Rates form:
-
Download Rates — Click this button to download currency rates from XE.com. XE.com allows up to nine downloads a week (once a day, plus two "grace" downloads in the event a daily download gets corrupted).
-
Schedule Rate Download — You can schedule, via your process server, when you want the rates downloaded from XE.com. Click this button to display the Schedule dialog box for the process server, and complete the information as needed. The Options tab is blank because it does not apply to rate downloads.
-
Rate Download Exchange Date — This feature allows you to download historical exchange rates. You can use
Today's Date to schedule a daily download of current rates or to download current rates now. Or you can use the
Specific Date option, which allows you to select a date from the calendar icon and download historical rates. Note that you can only download rates for the past 90 days. Whenever you download rates with this feature, it counts toward your nine downloads a week.
