[OFBiz] Users - customers and orders with multiple currencies

[Si Chen]

Hi David,

No problems with viewing the previous orders.  Don't know how to change 
the currency back to USD (and I'm not sure if people should be allowed 
to do this?)

By the way, the CVS I checked out yesterday looks pretty good.  The only 
thing odd I noticed was this message every time I tried to create an order:

The following errors occurred:

    * layoutEvents.error_call_eventorg.ofbiz.content.webapp.event.EventHandlerException:
      Service invocation error (The current transaction is marked for
      rollback, should stop immediately.)

Do you think this is a good point for doing an upgrade of our code base 
(from about 3.0.0)?

Thanks!

Si
