thanks! really useful! so how does sendfrom choose its utxo's to ensure spending from the right account? i see from your links that performance would likely wain the more and more accounts you have, but could you predict the utxo's the wallet will choose for a sendfrom knowing that it will always attempt to pull from the default account? i've seen other posts mentioning the routine but not in regards to accounts

wow! much thanks! i do a 42 character long [a-zA-Z0-9] password and it worked. thanks so much @GregHewgill and @ user2185284 !

thanks for the specifics! makes sense now...can't wait to correct this this afternoon (;

thanks for the suggestion! i won't be able to try this til i get home for the night, but do you think my issue is that the password i'm trying is too short (not 43 chars) or that what i was using for a password that included an underscore?
