= SYMPTOMS =

Flipping back and forth between Base Currency Unit Per Foreign Unit and Foreign Currency Unit Per Base Unit in the Currency Converter may cause incorrect conversion rates.

= CAUSE =

Money rounds the conversion rate with six digit of precision. As you switch back and forth between rates, Money re-rounds the rate each time. This may cause the conversion rate to become inaccurate.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this problem, verify the conversion rate is correct before completing the currency conversion.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
