Aha.  Yes, most of my accounts are in NZ $, but the account I'm having problems with is my UK account which is in £. This has always been the case but the screen has only been coming up recently. How can I stop it? Thanks for info.

If the transactions are indeed simple expenses between say your checking account and an expense account then you’ve managed to create one or the other (probably the expense account or it would happen most of the time) in a foreign currency. You can fix that by editing the account causing the problem and changing the commodity to your local currency.
