Disclosed is method and system that automatically names and stores electronic files by associating metadata with the files. The metadata may be stored in the header of each file, and the metadata automatically designates file names and locations to each file. A user interface allows a user to input and edit files. A Java Virtual Machine is started up upon boot-up and runs a Java main thread, which creates the user interface. A Java database-access thread, spawned from the Java main thread, queries storage devices as to availability to receive files. A message is returned to the user confirming the status of the attempted file save function.
