We recently put in a new Network drive, and we went from a 1.2 gig to a 9 gig drive. In doing so, our novell block size went from 4k to 16k. Since then, Arev has not let us do a COPYTABLE. It reports that there is not enough room left on the drive for the COPYTABLE process. Now we are also having problems with %records% on some tables when doing recordcopy's. What are we doing wrong????

There are some issues with dealing with drives greater than 2G. You might have to find a way to artificially limit the available disk space seen by the users. Perhaps volume limitations will help.
It's a DOS compatibility issue.

Aaron is right on the COPYTABLE issue. A workaround is to do a copytable to another drive that is smaller and then do a DOS copy from that drive. If you go this route, make sure you take things like volume name indexes, etc. into account.
Regarding %RECORDS%, that issue is not related. You probably have a quickdex on a file that is too large for quickdex. To find out, take your average key size and add 1. Now multiply this by the record count. If this number is over 64K, your file is too big for quickdex.
