Current photoionizatiom models have been extended toward low-ionization parameters, high densities, and high column densities in order to investigate the region emitting the low ionization lines in AGN. At low-incident flux, the emitted spectrum is found to be governed mainly by the sum, F(eff), of the near UV and X-ray continuum fluxes incident on the medium. All line fluxes are shown to saturate for F(eff) of about 10 to the 9th erg/sq cm, and the possibility of the existence of such high fluxes in the region emitting the low ionization lines is eliminated.
