The cause of the multi-currency list out of bounds error because normally your first currency should be a base currency in your setup. This can't be changed after the faxt, so you will have to make the US currency also a base currency.  If you have bank accounts in USD you will need USD to be a base currency in order to get a G/L balance for your bank account.

A base currency is any currency you need to get a G/L balance.

To fix this, in the Setup Wizard -> Multi Currency -> Multi-Currency Wizard,  in the multi-currency wizard, press "back" until you get to step 3, Click to define base currencies,  Select US dollars, press Edit, Click on "This is a base currency"

** Always ensure you have a recent backup prior to altering any database BTR file **

If a message stating the currency file (ie W:\System5\Data\ACT00001.BTR) already exists.  The currency has not be converted to a base and will require the ACT00001.BTR file to be deleted.   Re-checking the option to make this currency as base will regenerate this file.
