<div dir="ltr">Ok, I finally got it. I had to build the "conus" file from "conus.lla" using nad2bin.exe. After doing this, I get the correct output instead of asterisks and zeros. Thanks everyone for your assistance, and hopefully this thread is of use to future users. Now that I know this works, I'm on to my main goal of writing a VBA function in Microsoft Access that'll provide the same results...</div>

The output is a LCC projection, also based on the NAD27 datum. There is no datum transformation, so using +nadgrids is irrelevant.

I'm not sure what the difference is between what I'm doing and what Andre (one of the previous replies) is doing to be able to get the correct results. Would anyone be willing to give me a detailed step-by-step, starting with downloading "<a href="http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj446_win32_bin.zip" target="_blank">http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj446_win32_bin.zip</a>" and unzipping in a windows environment (I placed everything in C:\proj). See Andre's post above for the inputs and outputs. The second set of output coordinates is exactly what I need to get, but my output is just zeros and asterisks. Thanks so much folks for your help... I feel like I'm just missing something simple...!</div>

<div>I'm thinking my EPSG definitions might be messed up somehow... but I also tried copying from

result... not sure why I'm getting asterisks and zeros for the same command! :/ Thanks again for your help!!</div>
