Lotus Notes Error – Table is malformed
I recently migrated rich text content to a new Domino 7 application, using CopyItemToDocument method of NotesItem to copy the rich text item to the corresponding field name in the new form. The information appeared the same in the new application when viewed from a browser. However, the application was designed to allow the information to edited in a Notes client, and it turned out that some of the largest documents could not be opened in the new application.  The error message was inconsistent, but was always one of the following:
- Warning: Ignoring portion of document that uses a feature from another version of Notes.
- Table is malformed.
- Memory allocation request exceeded 65000 bytes.
Researching the first error message, I found this technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21097112. All of the problem documents did have a large rich text field with many items, as mentioned in reason #4 in the technote, so my first impression was that there was nothing to do except try to recover the unformatted text from the documents.
