How can I (force)update my balance?
repairwallet
The option repairwallet doesn't seem to exist. I typed help and got a long list of commands, but not that one.
Can I start with a blank wallet and recreate it with my private key? Or maybe create a new wallet and transfer the balance there? I assume I can get to my dope using the private key, even without the wallet?
Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, it looks like the repairwallet option was removed in 4.1. You could sync up 4.0.0.5 again and run it from that client's console. It will absolutely straighten out your wallet and find your coins. Find a link to my bootstrap up a few posts if you need it.
If you want to do it tritonium's way and get your private keys:
If you've only ever used one address then go to console and type
dumpprivekey
If you used a bunch of addresses then
Go to console and type dumpwallet walletkey.txt
This will create a txt file called walletkey.txt in the directory you launched the client from with all your private keys.
It's going to dump a file with 100 public addresses / keys you can view in notepad.
The one(s) you used that should have coins in them will have "label" next to the timestamp instead of "reserve=1".
Now, the question here is, since your wallet is a scrambled mess is this dump file going to be accurate in discerning addresses from reserves?
Now that you've got your key(s)
Exit the client and remove the old wallet.dat from the data directory. A new one will be created when you relaunch the client.
Go back to console and type importprivkey .
Wallet will lock up for a up to a few minutes while it imports the key.
Any balances held in that private key will appear.
Problem with this method is if you have coins spread over several addresses this can get frustrating.
Thanks guys. It worked and I got my balance back.
I used the importprivkey option in a new wallet AFTER i checked which address held my balance and dumped the corresponding privkey. I dumped my privkey a long time ago, but the staking and new balance turned out to be on a new address with a different key.
Thanks for the support and excellent suggestions.
