Importing private keys to bitcoin-qt

Hey guys,

I used the Vanitygen to generate a new Wallet address for myself (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0) and I went into the main Bitcoin-QT client, clicked Help, then Debug Window, and then console and issued this command: "importprivkey keyhere".

Now, when I go into my Address Book, the key shows up there. It doesn't show up in my "Receive Coins" window, but instead the "Address Book" window. How do I get this into my "Receive Coins" window so that I can actually send/receive coins from the vanity address?

Thanks,
Ricky


WAIT! Nevermind. It shows up now after my Bitcoin-QT client updated the blocks. Smiley
