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.
