About Online updates

The currencies in the Online updates pane are 28 commonly used non-EMU currencies whose Euro exchange rate can be edited manually in the Edit Currency dialog or updated automatically over the Internet using the daily Euro exchange rates published by the European Central Bank.

Note that the default Euro exchange rate for the currencies in the Online updates pane is set to 1: to replace this default value with the latest online rates, establish a Internet connection and click the Update button.

Updating rates automatically

To automatically update the Euro exchange rates in the list, establish an Internet connection and click the Update button. To cancel the automatic update, click the Stop button.

Troubleshooting

If rates aren't updated, check to make sure that you're able to connect to the Internet.
