Free space in a filegroup.

Hi everyone,
I need to write a SP to check the available free space in a certain database
filegroup(SQL Server 2000 database).
Any help will be appreciated.
Best Regards,Hi
You may want to look at http://sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=282 on
calculating sizes of tables. If you need filegroups, then sysindexes contain
s
a groupid column that you can link back to the filegroup.

Online and came up with this solution:
SELECT ([size]*8)/1024.0 AS CurrentSizeInMB,(CAST(FILEPROPERTY('file
name
',
'SpaceUsed') AS INTEGER )*8)/1024.0 AS SpaceUsedInMB FROM sysfiles WHERE
[name] = 'filename'
We use 2 filegroups containing 1 file each,so this will do for now.
