What is the maximum size for a document in Lotus Notes 6.5.1?

I am working in Lotus Notes 6.5.1. I am facing problem with 32K error.

Problem :-

I am having database in 6.5.1 server. I am having a lot of documents that exceeds 32000 bytes.Whenever I open and save the mentioned size documents after that I can not open the document. It is throwing 32k Error. But if the document size is less than 32000 bytes then I can open the document after saving it. I can restrict the document document size. As of my knowledge there is no limitation for document length.

Just I want to know, why is this happening. Because of this issue, My scheduled agents are not running. GetNextDocument is not fetching the next document.

One Information:- My database disk space is 96% being used.

Is the document size related to the above information? or Notes Document having any specific features?

How were the documents created? As @dmytro mentions below, when you save the document, it is becoming a summary field, which is why it throws the error only after it has been saved. – David Navarre

It sounds like you have hit the 32K limit for a single (Summary) field:

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

See http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21087474 for more info and for workarounds.

The answer was already given to subject. Here only solution for such problem.

You can avoid problem with those limits if you set flag Summary to false.

dim item as notesitem
set item = doc.getFirstItem('itemname')
item.IsSummary = false
call doc.save(true, false)

and u 'do not do nothing' when you press Ctrl+s - u actually refresh document and then save it. I guess you have some computed fields on form that are refreshed and their size go up.
