Re: Scanning for similar cities

Even city name may not be enough. Your web order process may need the
user to be prompted for a specific area, or to use an address verification
package (i use Worksright in a web order entry) and have to prompt the
web user if address match not found. It returns a city name and some other
info that should nail down taxing.

Subject: Scanning for similar cities

OK this one is a bit wierd.

We get some web orders and the city field is sometimes including the
county, e.g. there is Houston, there is Houston Harrison. The harder cases
might be for a city that is made up of 2 names to being w/ such as San
Antonio.  I built a logical by city but in some cases it gets subdivided.

The only issue is, how does the program know that there is a problem?

The need is for summarizing state taxes, for those of you familiar, Texas
has separate tax codes by city and county.

The user does her tallying by city tho.
