Heather:
Second Question: If you look at the first tab of the Company Profile in any of the modules, you will see the Home Currency in use. In the old ACCPAC Plus product, it used to default to a currency named "DOS". Of course this didn't make much sense as you would really be using $USD or $CAD. But that was the default and, as long as you were only using a single currency, no one noticed or cared. When you converted to Adagio, the same currency code was used. This sounds like what you are describing.
To enable multi-currency, you purchase the Adagio Multi-currency module.
At this point you have 2 choices:
1) Purchase a utility from Dakota Software that will allow you to change the currency from "DOS" to whatever you want (presumably "CAD"). This is the cleanest solution as the utility searches through all modules and makes a complete switch. See your dealer.
2) Keep "DOS" and use it to represent your true Home Currency (i.e. pretend that "DOS" is "CAD"). When you need to update the USD-CAD exchange rates, you will enter them as the conversion rates between USD and DOS.
