If you are using both the simple conversion and the Dual-Base systems, the Base Currency screen is the same as for the Dual-Base system. In this case, you can use the Security Controls to prevent Exchange Rates being entered relating a foreign Currency to either Base Currency. It is recommended that users in transitional countries should disallow rates in whichever Base Currency represents their home Currency, to prevent the accidental entry of Exchange Rates between their home Currency and other Currencies (all conversions should be via the Euro). Voluntary users of the Dual-Base system can set these options depending on their individual requirements (i.e. depending on whether they wish to allow the entering of Exchange Rates between one or both Base Currencies). For example, voluntary users of the Dual-Base system in Britain with the Euro as Base Currency 2 will probably wish to prevent the accidental entry of Exchange Rates between the Euro and other Currencies. Remember that you should relate a particular foreign Currency to Base Currency 1 or 2 but not both.
