Hi,
I've just completed a multi-currency version of the Store and am manually
picking off the exchange rates from the net.
Anyone know of a method that will enable me to schedule and access an
exchange rate webserver??
regards,
Duncan.

Would you be at all ameanable to discuusing what changes you made to support
multiple currencies?

Hi,
No problem with that, However I do need to complete the exercise with
the auto access method and test everything before committing myself to
paper :)

In essence though, What I did was to replace the 'money' definition in
the stored procedures - which in itself assumes local recognition of
currency base (ie if you are in America- it's dollars and UK British
sterling etc.. ) with a float term and then deal with the ramifications
of that in the business layer then the html/code-behind layer.

The result - mainly - was a change in the stored procedures. One benefit
was that having done these changes I then went on to implement user
based discounts (useful for trade clients) and promotion discounts. The
same mechanism works across the piece.

I'm quite keen to progress any conversation which expands on the general
understanding of e-commerce retail processes so if responents have an
interest in this thread, prehaps the organisers can generate a new forum
???

HTH

with regards,
Duncan
