You can then set each client record to whatever currency they use so there is no danger of invoicing in the wrong currency. Again, with GST you can set multiple rates in the program, this is necessary in Europe with all the different VAT rates. I understand the Australia rate is 10% (The lucky Country) but if you are dealing overseas you can set a 0% rate and again default it to the client record so the right GST rate is always charged. I hope this answers your questions. How it deals with them from a technical point, I have no idea. I try to avoid conversations with programmers as they tend to draw me in to the dark side. BTW. The 7 steps in the above post is excellent advice for anyone looking at practice management software. You mentioned remote working - make sure the software uses the mircosoft.net platform and is built with an SQL database. Cheers Anthony Alexander,
