Re: Getting currency rates

[Adam West <adamster@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Nothing yet.  I am not sure what error codes I should be looking for.
   I was wondering what other people do with this issue?


   I have a doo hickey that checks if my file was updated so that is how
   I know after the fact so to speak but I would rather deal directly.

   Use a paid service. That's the problem with web stuff like that. Like
   anything else, money is a motivator. A company that's being paid to
   provide a service is more likely to have a reliable service.
