Cor / Phil,
There will be (web)services out there which will return to you the
rates, but what the costs are for such services I don't know.
In the past, I would have set to use the free web service available from the
Fed Reserve Bank of NY (
http://www.ny.frb.org/markets/fxrates/noon.cfm )
which provides certified noon rates for custom purposes. But they will be
discontinuing that service on Dec 31 of this year. I don't know of any
other free web service, though there are numerous paid subscriptions
alternatives. I've seen prices in the $30-60/mth (USD) range.
It also would not be too hard to parse the HTML from any of various web
sites which provide current exchange rates. You can grab the HTML using
something like Bradley Stone's GETURI, or the HTTP examples from Scott
Klement. But if you are parsing HTML instead of a RSS feed or XML schema,
remember that changes to the web site you are capturing could potentially
break your parsing logic. So if you go this route in an automated job, have
it send messages somewhere if it can't recognize the HTML layout anywmore.
