Index
Import
Importing data is made possible for registered users. The file that should be downloaded can be found at http://www.smartbits.com/Edmond/PocketPC/GetCur.asp.
This file has a specific format and should not be changed. Changing this file will have unpredictable results with the import fuction.
The file will contain 160 currencies and is updated daily.
This link will bring you to a screen, where you can type in the E-Mail address that you used while registering.
After pressing the "Download" button, your E-Mail address is verified and the download is started. Save the file currency.ecu in a folder from where you can copy it into your PocketPC Ofcourse you can also copy it in a folder from where you do file synchronization.
E-Currency Converter will look for files called *.ecu in your "My Documents" folder and subfolders.
The import function has 4 options, that can be remembered for the next time you start the import
If you select the "Remember the last choice" option, you will get a new option "Automatic Import at Start".If this option is clicked and a valid filename is selected at the last import, the program will look for currency.ecu at the last location and if the file exists, the program will automatically import the file into the database according the pre-selected options.
The import screen will show the last valid full filename that was used for importing and it will show what date was used to update the database.
The imported currencies will be imported into the database and from there selected for the calculation screen.
The options are:
- Only EURO Currencies
This option will replace the complete database with only the 13 standard EURO currencies. Because these currencies are fixed amounts you can use this option without a downloaded file.
- Replace cur in database
This option will replace the currencies found in the database, it will not add any other currencies and also any "user defined" currencies are not updated.The option is preferred when you have more then 13 currencies that you use often.
- Replace selected cur
This option will replace the database with the 13 selected currencies that you have on the calculation screen. No currencies are added and no "user defined" currencies are updated or removed. This option is best used to keep the database small and when 13 currencies are enough for you to work with.
- Import all currencies
This option will replace the database with all 160 currencies from the downloaded file, Only "user defined" currencies that are selected on the calculation screen are kept. "User defined" currencies that are not selected but are in the database will be removed.
Whatever option you choose the selected currencies (the currencies that are in the calculation screen) will always be kept, even when you have added your own (non existing) currencies.
The more currencies the database contains the slower the program will run. Unfortunately the Version 3.0 of the PocketC runtime is a bit slow in selecting from tables or from large arrays.
Index
Reset
With this tool you can reset the database and the program will be restarted
All work will be lost and the database is filled with the standard 13 EURO currencies
