Using Euro Converter to Calculate Currencies

The Euro Calculator uses the values in the euro_converter table in its calculations. Because of this, you need to log in to Horizon before you can start Euro Converter.

When you launch Euro Converter, you can keep it open in Windows, then switch to it any time you need using ALT + TAB.

You can add Euro Converter to the navigation bar. (For instructions, see Adding a View as a Process to the Navigation Bar.)

To use Euro Converter to calculate currencies

4 To calculate currencies, do these steps:
a Highlight a currency in the From list.
b Highlight a currency in the To list.
c Enter the amount of the currency in the From field.
d Press ENTER or click Calculate to calculate the rate.

Note: When you click on other currencies in the From and To Lists, Euro Converter automatically recalculates the values in the fields below.

5 To calculate other currency amounts, do these steps:
a Enter a new amount in the From field.

Note: Because the value in the From field is always selected, you do not need to delete it before entering a new amount.

When you use ALT+TAB to switch to Euro Converter, the “From” currency amount is automatically selected, so you can immediately enter the new amount.

b If you want to clear the fields in Euro Converter, press Alt+C, or click CE to clear the fields.
6 As necessary, copy the results of the conversion, then paste them directly into Horizon where the value is needed.

Note: Because it is Windows-compliant, you can paste the data you copy from Euro Converter into any Windows application, not just Horizon applications.
