What if my Law Firm has IP Access?

Please understand that when you enter CCH by means of IP access, you are an anonymous user to CCH. Since you did not identify yourself with an ID and Password, CCH only knows that you are one of X number of users at XYZ account.

All customization, including modifying your CCH Browser Favorites preferences, may not work. Why? For example, you might choose and submit your preferences for CCH Browser Favorites , but then the next anonymous user may change those preferences to reflect his/her own needs. Subsequently, you should always check your preferences to make sure they are set the way you want them to be.

A note about preferences for IP Automatic Access customers: When you are first selecting your preferences in the "Set Display Options" page, make sure that you click on the box next to "Access CCH with CCH IP Automatic Access (must be an IP customer)." This will ensure that the link to the document, publication, or topic that you saved takes you to the IP Automatic Access login screen versus the standard login screen.

It does not take you to the newly created URL or Browser Favorites (Bookmark).

SOLUTION: None at this time.
