The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Money 98
 - Microsoft Money version 5.0 for Windows 95
 - Microsoft Money versions 4.0 and 4.0a for Windows 95
 - Microsoft Money version 2.x and 3.x
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you look at an exchange rate, the number displayed in the
choice for Foreign Units For Each Local Unit or Local Units For
Each Foreign Unit section is different than the rate that you entered.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the programs listed at
the top of this article.
 
This problem has been corrected in Money 99.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
This behavior occurs when you switch between exchange rates. For
example, if you enter 1.5 in Foreign Units For Each Local Unit, switch
to Local Units and then switch back to Foreign Units, the number is
displayed as 1.499999. This problem is caused by how Money rounds numbers.
