Topic: exchange rate retrieve from google is not correct

Dear Admin,
Iam newer of FA, I am trying apply FA for my Vietnamese company and I have issue with exchange rate:
1) I can not input exchange rate as typing 1/19000 at exchange rate then I only typing 0.0000526316 instead of 0.0000526315789473684. As you know exchange rate of VND against USD is very low and have much of decimal length.
2) When I retrieve ex. rt. from Google ( I set exactly some line as your guide) and the result of ex. rt. equal 10,000.00000000010004441720. It is not correct.
Could you please show me how to fix that.
Many Thanks

Re: exchange rate retrieve from google is not correct

Strange. I have just tried (US dollar as domestic) and retrieved VND and got 0.0001 (with 4 decimals). I have used both GOOGLE and YAHOO.
Have you tried to use YAHOO.
BTW we found a bug recently in entering double values with more than 5 decimals. Maybe you should download this fil from CVS:



and replace the file in /includes/current_user.inc
