Personally, I use to file by MRIN. After some computer problems, I
ended up with new MRINs. Not good. Now I'm beginning to assign a
number to a document and post descriptive info into an Excel file so I
can easily search to find a doc by location, year, type, given name,
surname, etc. I am also starting to move from general notes (i.e.: DOS
PAF) to source, events, & notes. The source includes a file ID where I
can put my assigned document number.

Thanks for the information and your reply Thomas!
How are you enjoying the MRIN filing system? Positives? Negatives?
If anyone else has any strong feelings about it I would really love to
hear from you. Feel free to e-mail me privately ([EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
I need to start a filing system, but want to make sure it is the one
for me before I purchase all the items.
Thank you,
Ralf

I know what you're talking about. I have some wide tabbed notebook
dividers that extend beyond the width of sheet protectors. I wanted to
buy more for the Legacy notebook organization, but I couldn't find
them at either Staples or Office Max. However, I did find packages of
sheet protectors with tabs which work perfectly as dividers and you
can insert more information about what follows the divieder in the
tabbes sheet protector.
The information on the product is:
Beautone
Standard Weight
Sheet Protectors with Tabs
They are acid free
The tabs are colored
Numbers on the UPC label are 46330 and 7 52688 46330 0
They are sold in 10 Packs and I believe the price per package was
$2.99.
I hope this helps
Tom
