    Error while getting Calculation data from engine [client]

    jerry

    Are any others getting "Error while getting Calculation data from engine [client]," where [client][ is the client number?  This is not going to Forms mode, this is just entering data.  

    I updated this morning.  I tried re-applying the update, but installation failed, making me think Lacerte pulled down the update.

    A call to support might be required, but only if it continues. Sometimes just a small hiccup in the computer drive read rate.

    I would try https://accountants-community.intuit.com/articles/1607261-how-to-perform-a-force-install-of-lacerte before calling support, as this often cures such things.

    I am receiving the same error.  This happened several weeks ago and Tech Support walked me thru a reinstall from the web.

    I did a forced re-install and the error went away.  Sure  seems like there's a lot of instability in Lacerte this year.
