Calyx Point Interface User Notes

The Mortgage Quest Interface Kit allows you to read data directly from Calyx Point for Windows and create Mortgage Quest borrower and contact records. You can also create Calyx Point borrower and prospect files from Mortgage Quest borrower information. The following are exceptions to the common import features:

Other Program Locations - Mortgage Quest reads a file called winpoint.ini to determine which Calyx folders you can access. This file is located in the Windows folder. If the correct Calyx folders don't appear in the Read Data From list, use the Calyx Point Data Folder Manager to create or gain access to the folders you want to read.

 If Point is not installed on your computer, you’ll need to create folders for your Point files.

To import files when Calyx Point is not installed

 

1.  Create a folder to contain your Point borrower files: C:/PNTDATA/BORROWER.

2.  Move all files that have the file extension “.BRW” into this folder.

3.  Create a folder to contain your Point prospect files: C:/PNTDATA/PROSPECT.

4.  Move all files that have the file extension “.PRS” into this folder.

5.  If you want to have other Point data folders to import, you’ll need to edit the winpoint.ini file located in the Mortgage Quest program folder, C:/PROGRAM FILES/MARKET FOCUS/MORTGAGE QUEST. For example, you might want to create a folder for closed loans, “C:/PNTDATA/CLOSED/BORROWER. Edit the winpoint.ini as follows. Whatever folder you create, you must have subfolders named Borrower and Prospect.

[Directories]

Folder0=C:/PNTDATA

Folder1=C:/PNTDATA/CLOSED

Folder2=SENTINEL

To create Calyx Point files from Mortgage Quest records:

1.  Start Mortgage Quest.

2.  Go to the borrower record.

3.  Select Record / Send to / Point Prospect or Point Borrower.

4.  If you created multiple data folders in Calyx, a list of folders is displayed. Select the data folder for the new file.

5.  Enter the name of the Point file and click Save. Mortgage Quest creates the file in the directory with information from the borrower record.
