You receive a form submission exceeded the maximum length error message when you upload a file to your Windows SharePoint Services Web site
When you try to upload a file to your Windows SharePoint Services Web site using the Windows SharePoint Service object model, you may receive the following error message:
Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The form submission cannot be processed because it exceeded the maximum length allowed by the Web administrator. Please resubmit the form with less data.
This problem occurs the file is larger than the maximum file size for an upload. The maximum file size is configured in the Web.config file.
For example, your Web administrator may have set a maximum file size of 50 megabytes (MB)for uploads. To do this, the administrator uses the following tag in the Web.config file:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200" />
To upload larger files, ask your Web administrator to change the maxRequestLength parameter of the <httpRuntime> section in the Web.config file to a larger value.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
