GFE's in AREV 2.1 (AREV Specific)

I have a customer who uses our collection software based in AREV 2.1 who is experiencing multiple GFE's in a particular file. We have just copied existing records into a fresh file and renamed it, yet these errors still show up when we do a dump of the file. However, these errors no longer disrupt their daily work like they did before and appear to be 'phantom' GFE's. Also when doing the dump on the file, arrowing through the different overflow framelists produced some startling numbers. In group 61 of this particular file the frame # was very low, then after arrowing over to the overflow, the frame # and skiplist #'s both jumped up over 100,000. Not sure if this is related or not. Also, the size of this particular file is over 930,000 records, taking up well over 2 gigs of space. Any ideas?

I wouldn't worry about the next frame information. This could just be a group that was not filled until recently. New overflows just get tacked onto the end.
What are the GFE errors?

If you do a dump on the file it says group format error. There is no error messages popping up when writing or reading the file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I assume you've fixed the error? You've checked all the caching items?

There seemed to only be one true GFE, I did a dump fix on that. But there are still GFE's if you look through the file on the dump screen. However you can read and write to these groups with no error messages popping up. If your talking about write behind caching, this has been disabled on all workstations. Do I need to worry about the other GFE's that show in the dump screen? And why are they there?
Thanks

Is this the only file this happens to?
Do you see the same things from another workstation?
We have an idea, but want to find out a few things first.

Are records truncated in the frames?
Does the group appear intact except for the GFE?
Can you read and write to all the records in the affected group?
How large is the file, and how does it relate to the others in size?
Are you using the NLM, NT Service or NPP? If using the NPP with or without the NT Service, have you ran the fixvol and fixgce programs?
