Dataset Headers

I set up two questionnaire forms for distribution and have received back the responses. One dataset looks fine. The other dataset has "default" headers (TextField1 etc). I must have forgotten to change the binding name (in Livecycle designer) to more descriptive (e.g., name) ones for the second questionnaire.

My question is how do I change the headers within the dataset once you have generated it? It seems my only option is to go back to the original pdf document, enter livecycle designer, correct the headers, re-distribute to set up a new pub and dataset files (it should sequence number the new names so they don't overwrite the previous files) and just import the collected responses.

Is there a simpler alternative?

Unfortunately, when I tried this it recognized the new headers as different from the headers in all of the filled-out forms and refused to put the data under the new heading - all the data under the new headings were just blank.

Anyone solved this yet?
