If you--or any other readers--are open to installing a new program, you can probably find a freeware version of "Paradox Runtime v10" after a brief websearch.  I have a custom set of tools written as Paradox scripts, one of which is "extract tax detail".

You can reach me at "ParadoxForLacerte" at "Yahoo.com", if you are interested.

I initially wrote most of the utilities in the early 2010s, as a result of reading the Yahoo!Group "LTUG" (Lacerte Tax User Group) complaints of several years about "this should be changed or updated"; for TY2008 I was the notional 'recording secretary' keeping that list, which we as a group then forwarded on to the Intuit staffer who was the primary contact on the group.

At the time, Lacerte was just using plain DBase files, without encryption, so between TY1999 and TY2017 I had free access to read/write the data tables.  Many of the things that we were asking for on the usergroup, could be done externally with access to the data tables, so I did.

With the advent of the changed tables in TY2018 and going forward, several of my utilities are outdated/no longer work, and I honestly have not bothered to go back and update them to work with the ODBC connection instead.

However, pulling the detail out works just fine.
