You need of course an Internet connection.For Bank of Romania you can choose to see the currencies as they were at a certain date. Before you ask, chosing a date in the future will alas not work. The Export Technologies service does not have this function though, and when working with the Bank of England this choice will be unavailable.The program remembers the last downloaded values for each service. Please note that the Export Technologies service (for Bank of England) is slow – an update can take up to a minute. Bank of Hungary does not update the service daily. Therefore, after you press Download, you may see a different date than today appearing at the top: this is the date of the last update. Furthermore, because of this, when you use the calendar to choose a date, you may get the message “No data available for the chosen date!”. Simply choose another date.
