Just as an update to this - you can open a connection to the service and
then just ask it for the rates you want
<cfset WSconvert = createobject("webservice",
"http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl")>
<cfset thisRate = WSconvert.getRate(Country1, Country2)>
So, you can convert from countries to others in a loop once the service
is "open"

Thanks
I will look into them as well
We use Oanda regularly in our law practice, not as a webservice,
however.

Thanks for the links but as Phillip pointed out I don't think they are
all webservices, also have you used any of them?

Can anyone recommend a free or commercial currency conversion
webservice. I realize google throws up a few, however I'm looking for
some recommendations from personal experience. I'm particularly
interested in any which can guarantee a certain level of accuracy and
up
time.
Thanks

If you are specifically looking for a webservice, i'm using one from xmethods:
<CFINVOKE WEBSERVICE="http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl"
METHOD="getRate"
RETURNVARIABLE="myRate">
<CFINVOKEARGUMENT NAME="country1"
VALUE="Euro"/>
<CFINVOKEARGUMENT NAME="country2"
VALUE="United States"/>
</CFINVOKE>
<cfoutput>DollarsPerEuro Rate from Xmethods: #myRate#</cfoutput>
I watch it by wrapping it in a try / catch block and having it send me an email
whether it succeeds or fails. I also found that once in a great while, it was
returning a negative value, so now i also check to see if it's positive and only
update the exchange rate on the site if it is. Otherwise i stay with the old
value.
It's free for one rate - i just can't remember where i found the list of
countries
supported.
