Samantha, Sorry, I lost that in the ensuing conversation about how to work Powershell and got hung up on the previous no Get Rate button issue.
The Fetch Rate and Get Quotes buttons work a bit differently from each other: The first looks only at the currencies involved in the transaction you're entering and the latter tries to retrieve rates for all of the currencies in your book. Can you try the Fetch Rate button? You can do that most easily by editing the rate on a foreign currency split. (Open a foreign currency transaction, put it in split view, select a split in the "other" currency, right-click and pick Edit Exchange Rate from the context menu. Note that which currency is the "other" one depends on which account you started the transaction from so it might be GBP if you created the transaction starting from an account denominated in, say, EUR.) Please run from the PowerShell command line with the --log gnc.scm=debug option as before, try both a Fetch Rate and a Get Quotes and paste in the contents of the resulting log file.
