MLC_Machine

Program uses MS-DOS to generate a daily list of received and outstanding Municipal Lien Certificates. Ideal for a real estate law firm but can be adapted for any type of document.

Required File Organization/Structure

Optional/recommended programs:

Autophile, by David Khann This program allows you to automatically sort files into folders based on the folder names. Bat to Exe Converter This program will allow you to convert the bat file into an exe.

Instructions

  1. Set Local Drive R as the folder you want the MLC Machine to search in.
  2. Replace "MLC" with whatever kind of document you are looking for. Ex. Contract and Contract Request or Certificate and Certificate Request.
  3. If your folder has several folders that you do not want the Machine to search in, use findstr /I /V /C:"folder 1 to exclude" /I /V /C:"folder 2 to exclude". (I did not need the program to search in Archive, Pending Files, Misc, Docs, etc., or any file listed as a Seller Rep as there would be no files with outstanding MLCs in them.)
  4. If you're fun, download the Trivia file and place it into a new folder called "Morning". Replace "C:\Users\Liz Furtado\Databases\Supporting Objects\Morning" with the folder the Trivia file is in.
  5. Download the Batch file, run it to ensure everything works.
  6. Optional: Convert Bat to Exe. Set the program to "Start Invisible" and set it to run in "Documents" (or whatever folder you'd like.)
  7. Move the file (either bat or exe) to your start-up folder to have it run on start-up.
