Magento multistore: currency problem - Euro/Pounds? - magento

Hope someone can help me with a currency problem. I have a multishop, Dutch and English. The Dutch store (default config) is in Euro's and I want to get the Englisch shop working in Pounds. The two shops are multishops with different root categories and when I try to put the English shop at Pounds: system/configuration/currency setup it won't work.
I put the display currency at pounds also with the frontend.
We are working with magento 1.4.0.1
Let me know if I do anything wrong?

The following link says how to set up multiple currency for Magento shop. It also describes how to set different currency for different store.

Hope this helps. Thanks.

The correct way to do this is going to config each gruop of clients, and in the configuration page you have the option to see the price with or without taxes.
Go to: Shop Parameters -> Customer Settings, then go to Gruops tab and edit all of them changing this option:

How to link (map) products between two Magento websites?

I would like to develop TWO Magento websites under different domain names domainONE.com and domainTWO.com
I would like to have SOME (not all) products (Approximately 200 out of 5000) on both websites to be the same, but the Titles, Pictures and Descriptions must be different. The products must be mapped/linked somehow, most importantly the stock MUST be the same on both websites for these particular products and the stock must change on both websites when the product sells on either one of the websites
Example:
domainONE.COM (has 5000 products)
domainTWO.com (200 same products as on domainONE.COM, but the Title, Description and Pictures must be different. However when the product sells on EITHER domains the stock must be synchronized between both domains.
Any solutions?
Thank you in advance!
The Magento is made to solve problem like yours.
It is noy just two, you can share products between hundreds of sites. In fact many store owner configure Magento like you wanted to do. You just got the thr terminology wrong. They called it Multi-store management. In Magento, you can run multiple websites in single installation and have different product name, description or any property for each website - imagine scenario of multi-linguel websites.
You have to read and understand Magento's multi-store management at Wiki page http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/overview-how-multiple-websites-stores-work/
Magento already provide this type of feature.
All you need to do is, set up a multisite magento website.
And yes stock(Inventory) is managed globally by Magento, so I think in short this is all you need.

How to set default currency as GBP for UK and USA customers in magento?

I have a magento store with multiple currencies. I want to set GBP as default currency for UK and USA customers. I have tried everything but the default currency is still coming as USD even for UK customers. Please help. Thanks.
Magento can't do this by default.
You can either code your own solution or look to one of the third party modules to implement GeoIP and currency allocations.

Magento use simple product price instead of Super Attribute price

I have a Configurable Product with a Super Attribute and a number of Simple Products (with different prices). In Admin when i select the Configurable Product >> Associated Products I can see the simple products. On the front-end when I try to add one of these simple products to the basket instead of seeing the price of that simple product i am seeing the price of the Configurable Product + the values in the Super Attribute Configuration for the selected product. Does anyone know how to change this so that the simple product price is used?
I struggled with exact same issue a couple years ago and Magento EE support could not provide much help. Client has an ERP system that only contains simple products. So configurable products are only for creating shopping experience in Magento. This makes ignoring simple product pricing for a base+offset configurable pricing model in Magento a problem. Never able to understand the logic to ignoring available pricing data for an additional meta pricing model!?
Magento EE support unofficially pointed me to a third party extension. http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/simple-configurable-products.html This extension is no longer supported so core upgrades have required work to keep things working. Looks like there are other extensions addressing this issue that may offer support.
I wanted to believe someone smarter than I could explain a better approach to solving this problem.
