Switching Accounts

This problem does not happen nearly as often as the duplicate accounts scenario but if I wrote a program to handle it, it must have happened to somebody.

This problem involves also 2 accounts, either related or unrelated, where the transactions have been entered under the incorrect account number.

This could be a case where a husband and wife have separate accounts and you’ve entered significant number of transactions under the wrong account.  I used the word significant because if it is just one or two transactions it is better to edit the orders and use the correct account number.

The problem with this option is that it will take all the records from one account and move them to the other account and then do the same for the other account.  In effect you are performing an account number swap.
