The problem is that the sales tax is stored in invoices.... not payments..
so you would have to link the payments to the invoices and etc....

It just takes some that knows CR backwards and forwards....

The simplest thing to do is for Emerald to have a tax field in the payments
table, then the report could be generated no sweat.... I do not know if the
payment posting is handled inside of Emerald or a stored proceedure, but if
it is a stored proceedure it would be simple to add it....

Does anyone know the SQL database well enough to create a query like this?

I don't know SQL, but there are many reports that tell amounts collected,
why not add tax to the report.

It will take someone who knows the SQL table.
