I know you can make Disk Quotas for disk, but is there away to put file quotas on how big a user can make a file. i have users with a personel H drive home file and would like to have them only be 2GB?

Disk quotas don't work at the file level, they are for the entire drive. So, if you set the quota for 2 GB it does not matter if the user has one big file or 2000 small files so long as the total for that user is 2 GB or less.

Watch out if you have print queues on the same drive as the users home directories because if the user fills up his home directory then he won't be able to print to queues hosted on the same drive.
