What I mean about a "final value" is this: Say you spend $100 from your credit card to pay someone 100 EUR (I can dream!). The value of those $, in any future report, should be fixed, since this value cannot change: it's already spent. But I buy $100 using 100 EUR and put into my bank account, _those_ $ will fluctuate based on market values. These values are not "final". The default will be as it now, that all values are open. I simply propose adding syntax will let you state that some transactions are now historical fact, and should vary in their reported value on any future report. John
