Hey all, back to this thread.

I thought I had fixed this issue, but I can confirm that when entering
currency exchange details on a line entry (right click, choose "Edit
Exchange Rate") and then enter the "to amount" it then fails.

Using GC 2.2.6

When I say fails, I mean "if you save and then do exactly the same
action, it has moved from the "to amount" to "exchange rate" (which
are correct), but then when you open teh price editor, it's arse end
around (ie, I'm still having the 1IDR = 7500AUD problem)"


Any ideas?

cheers
