    Just to clarify -

    I have a Windows XP Pro client on a SBS2003 network.

    The Server has a shared folder on the hard
    drive "Documents" which has about 2 gigs of files in it.

    The Client Machine has G: Mapped to Documents on the
    Server - When I look at the properties of G: it reports as
    1 gig in size with 500kb free.

    This is incorrect, and appears to be causing trouble
    with "cannot save to disk, out of space" errors and what
    not.

    Can anybody help??
