Using the US edition of Money 2006 Premium (upgraded from 2005).
Attempt to make a manual payment in a mortgage account, debiting a checking
account. Both the mortgage account and the checking account are denominated
in British Pound. The base currency in Money is US Dollar.
When you enter the payment, Money prompts for a conversion rate for the
payment and indicates in the dialog box that the checking account is
denominated in US Dollar despite the fact that the Account Settings for that
account show it as denominated in British Pound.
Tried setting up a new Money file with just a checking account and a
mortgage account. Behaviour was repeated. If I change the base currency to
British Pound, it works OK. If I have British Pound base and US Dollar
mortgage & checking accounts, I get the conversion prompt!
In other words, if the checking account and mortgage account are in the same
currency but that currency is NOT the base currency, you get the prompt.
Note: ordinary account transfers, say between British Pound Checking and
British Pound Savings with US Dollar as base, work fine. It's just when you
attempt the payment in the mortgage account that the issue occurs.
Anyone else seen this behaviour or able to validate it?
It worked fine in Money 2005.
