Just a note to folks regarding our conversion experience going from CCH Axcess to Lacerte.  We spent over a dozen hours over 5 days going back and forth between Lacerte support and CCH support, with CCH support insisting that *.DAT file is all that is needed for conversion, and Lacerte Support insisting that CCH Pro FX files were the supported way to convert to Lacerte formatted tax returns.   The latest call to CCH support has been more helpful:  they explained that a special conversion team at CCH could be hired at hourly consulting rates to convert the Axcess format files to CCH Pro Fx *.ZIP formats, however these conversions could only be done after regular business hours and no delivery date guarantees would be provided or promised.  The conversion team will charge an additional premium consulting fee for any time spent on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.  Will hopefully report back here to the community once successfully converted our files.  One week has already gone by. Not sure how many more weeks the completed process will take.
