Customer list? Now how about tax tables

[Brose Nunan]

Thanks, I have version 1.8.12. I think Neil was talking about the same 
kind of thing last week. For me QSF format and XSLT is another language 
I don't know. I was thinking of setting up my accounts all over again 
and a customer list would have saved me having to go through each 
customer's file folder for the information.

I was having some trouble with invoicing and tax tables and it seemed 
the best was to get over it was to start all over again. Since there is 
no customer list report, maybe there is an easier fix for the tax table 
problem. Here it is.

I set up two tax rates listed in my tax table, thinking I could chose 
whichever was appropriate for my transaction when invoicing. Upon 
reviewing my accounts I noticed that rather than applying just one tax 
rate, gnucash applied all the tax entries from both tax tables as one 
tax rate, resulting in over 20% sales tax on an item... I unposted the 
invoices with the problem, deleted the items and re-entered them. The 
program still assigned the 20+% tax for any item I listed as purchased 
prior to the date that I changed the tax table. This was the case even 
after I removed all the old tables and left only one table with an 8% 
tax rate in the system. There was no other difference than the date of 
the transaction between the problem invoices and those that were 
correct. I figured the system had some kind of memory for transaction 
dates and I just needed to start over. I just was hoping to reduce my 
workload. I can't change the purchase dates because it would wreak havoc 
with my Quarterly state tax reporting. Any ideas?
