In an effort to expand on this entry, while testing, there are many times where I have to use the mllpreceive.exe to capture data.

I have made it easy by adding right click functionality.

I created a batch file called Receive.bat with the following contents:

MLLPRECEIVE.EXE /P 12000 /SPLIT /SB 11 /EB 28 /CR 13 /D %1

I then went into Tools -> folder options and choose File Types and chose Folder (not File Folder) and choose Advanced. In the Action I put mllp and the Application used to perform this action I type “{path}Receive.bat” “%1″

Now when I want to receive message and put them in a particuar folder, I right click on the folder, choose mllp from within Explorer, and a dos window comes up with the correct folder that will be the location of where the data will be written to.
