Table not in REVMEDIA (OpenInsight)

I created my application on my laptop (win98), then moved the development copy to a windows 2000 server by doing a copy across the nextwork. Now, any table I create in the development copy never gets copied to a deployment version. If I try to check out a form entity and the datatable I get the message that the table is not in the revmedia.
Why do the files not get added to revmedia? Some permissions or OS strangeness?

The REVMEDIA is a directory pair of files that associate the actual DOS files with the OpenInsight table. Such table can be up to six DOS files. There is no automatic way for any Windows or DOS COPY function to understand such a relationship.
So, look into the Copy_Table subroutine. It will update the destination REVMEDIA.
This will fail if the destination REVMEDIA was made with a Windows or DOS COPY. This is because there is a row in REVMEDIA that is supposed to be unique to each physical directory, called REVMEDIA. The value is tied to system indexes.
There are means to get around this limitation but the best thing to do is to make a new directory and Copy_Table all tables into it (follows the rules).
