Yes, and I had thought that they already checked in both directions. 
I’ll take a look.



The wrong exchange rate is being used on the main accounts display too 
if one of the "Name (Currency)" columns is displayed.

I've tried having a look in the code but it is taking me too long to 
find.

If there are no pre 2.6.9 prices in a book it gets the right one.

Not sure if this is a re-opening of an old bug but I have added a new 
one with example books anyway and hope I got it right
