Bug in Company Snapshot

This is a minor bug, but if you add a Purchase Order account to the Account Balances section in the Company Snapshot, it improperly display $0 as the balance, even though there is are open purchase orders with a balance.

This might be due to the fact that Purchase Orders are non-posting? Its strange, but double clicking on the account item in the Account Balances section shows a report that shows the proper balance.

Successful Upgrade to 2010

The upgrade went smoothly. I like the new Company Snapshot, although quickzooming on the graphs is kind of "ghetto", for lack of a better word. Its slow and very DOS-looking. I was expecting something a bit more slick.

I turned on MultiCurrency and met my first problem, you can't change the currencies of existing accounts.

I had been using an account to hold my US credit card alongside an exchange rate expense account to manage the exchange rates. Turning MC on made my account default to CAD and I couldnt' change it.

I actually ended up going back to a non-MC backup. Using an expense account to manage the difference in currency value for USD vs CAD works fine for us, since the two currencies are close enough in value.
