Re: Automated file management solution

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Define the problem a bit more?  What kind of files?

Sounds a bit like a customized scripting..but perhaps a real CRM program is the real solution for the problem?

I'm looking for a solution that would watch a set of shared folders and automatically move the files in those folders to other named folders on the server based on customized file naming conventions.

For example, say you've set up a file naming convention that specifies a unique 3-letter abbreviation for each customer. Every file created for that customer is named with the 3-letter abbrev. at the beginning. You save all newly created files to a single folder, regardless of which customer the file is created for.

The solution would watch that folder, and then move files with the same 3-letter abbreviation to a corresponding customer folder.

Any ideas?
