File Upload

We have a Notes web applications that allows users to upload files onto specific documents. We are running into a problem now deleting one of the uploaded attachements from the document. This is the error message that we get while trying to delete the already uploaded attachment.

“HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - Field is too large (32K) or View’s column & selection formulas are too large”

Any clues as to why this is happening and how we can resolve this.

Hi,When ever a file is uploaded the document needs to be saved.

These errors occur when a particular Text field in the document or the document itself has reached the maximum amount of Summary data that it can hold.

Notes/Domino 6.x has the following limits regarding Summary fields: 32k per field, 64k per document.

If the limit is relative to a particular field, workarounds are as follows:

  • If the field must be of the Type Summary (allowing it to display in views) then the only workaround is to remove some of the text or place some of the text into another field (it is unlikely that 32k worth of data would be displayed in a view).

  • If the field does not need to be displayed in a view then change the Type of the field to Rich Text or Rich Text Lite.

If the limit is relative to the total document, workarounds are as follows:

  • Change whatever fields that do not need to be displayed in a view to Rich Text or Rich Text Lite.

  • If the fields must be displayed in a view then there is no alternative but to break the information up into two documents.

I have got this from a technote you can refer to it

Thanks for you prompt response.

However I wanted to point out that the documents are attached to the form via File Upload control. File upload control does not have a setting to change the Type to rich text field.

Thanks for your prompt response.

I cannot apply the above solution because the files we are attempting to delete were ttached to the form via “File Upload control”. I cannot change the field to Rich Tex because it does not have a setting to change the it to Rich Texw

Hi,There may be other field on the form which is of a larger size and not the $file field in which the file is attached.

Thanks
