Help! Can I change the account for a specific tx?

[CIYAM]

I used the "sendfrom" expecting it (incorrectly now I know) to use the BTC from the receive address I had previously issued a "setaccount" for (instead it picked some other address not visible in the GUI).

What I am now wanting to do is to stop "listtransactions" from showing that particular "send" as belonging to that account (well more basically what I am wanting is for "getbalance" to match the balance that I see in blockchain.info/blockexplorer.com for the address I did the "setaccount" on in the first place).

So is there anyway to change the account for a specific tx?

Am guessing by the lack of response there is no direct way.

So is the only option to export every receive address, create a new wallet and import them back in (something that will take a long time as I understand it will do a rescan on each key import)

I imported a massive amount (~100K) of addresses that way.

To import them fast I did the following :

• Removed blockchain files
• Launched the client with  -maxconnections=0
• Made sure it wasn't connecting to anyone so the block count remains zero
• Imported all the addresses almost instantly since there was nothing to rescan
• Relaunched the client and let it download the whole chain so it would scan everything properly

Instead of re-downloading the chain you can probably simply restore the blockchain files and force a rescan after all the addresses have been imported.

Don't forget to issue a transaction that transfers the complete balance to the new wallet, otherwise you wont have all the balances that are stored on change addresses.

Thanks for the tips!

I was hoping there would be an easier way but guess I'll at least by skipping the rescans for each address it shouldn't take me too long to sort it out.
