Steema - rather than using city, would zip code be more accurate?
Could you not build a file containing city and county tax codes based upon
zip code?

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.
