*doh* yes, that's it of course. I guess I got confused, because for the 
basic ledger, the rate is EUR -> SEK, whereas for this particular split 
it apparently is SEK -> EUR (had I actually read the dialog more 
carefully it would have been obvious).

Well, for split ledger indeed, for basic ledger it's the other way 
around it seems (sort of, still trying to wrap my head around all this ;) ).

Thanks for the help!
