Approval Workflow task won't open by button on Outlook window

Outlook error: Outlook cannot open a new form.
The form contains schema validation errors.  (same error from both Outlook 2010 &2013)
Details:
Element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}StartDate' is unexpected according to content model of parent element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}SharePointListItem_RW'.
Expecting: {http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}HRRecruitStartDate, {http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}WorkflowLink, ...
In InfoPath I modified the task approval form and it was working.  Then I modified the list and it's form and the error resulted.

I modified the "request" list; I did not modify the "task" list.  I modified the "task" form; I also modified the "request" form.
The error is between Outlook and the "task" form.
Thanks.  That link is just some voodoo nonsense about html sensitivity.  This error would seem to be describing some change to the underlying data structure.  I know one thing I did do was uncheck the "reassign" button functionality.  But
I already discovered the reassign view part of the form and deleted that -- no resolution there.  I haven't found any data structure out there that contains HRRecruitStartDate, nor can I find reference to it on-line.  I know for a fact that I haven't
touched the task list structure so I'm making the logical conclusion that it can't be there.  Of course, it is SharePoint and no one knows all the kludge that is going on there.
If anyone did know how the thing worked, one might be able to expect utile error messages.
I see that there are a couple of pages of "content types" associated with a task list, but I have no idea how all that works and can't begin to concoct a strategy for investigating those.  I was hoping someone here had some insight.

    How can I Edit Approval Workflow - Task Rejection Email?

    Hi Sunil,

    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to edit the Task Rejection Email for your Approval Workflow. Please take steps as below:
            1.Open your site in the SharePoint Designer, go to Workflows->open the workflow you want to modify ->click the Approval->click on “Change
    the behavior of the overall task process” in the Approval editor page.
            2.Find the Step “When the Task Process Completes”-> “Set workflow status to Rejected.”
            3.Add two “Set Workflow Variable” from Action on the ribbon,Click on “workflow
    variable” then select “Variable: CompletionMailTitle”(editing the email title) and “Variable: CompletionMailReason”(editing the email body).
             4.Scroll below and click on the last action – “Email Workflow Context: Initiator” under “Else”,remove
    the first line.

  • Approval Workflow Task assigned behaviour

    I have a strange issue that has started recently. On a approval workflow, if the users do not add anyone to the cc line on the task assignment, there is only one email generated to notify the recipient of the task . However, if they put someone on the
    cc line as well, a email will get generated for each person on the cc list that will also include all the other recipients. So there are 3-4 emails being generated.  What could cause this and how can I fix it?

    Hi,
    Let verify the following:
    Whether you mean that when you add people to the cc line, several emails will be sent to the same recipient. if it is, perhaps your cc object 
    is a group contains the recipient.
    Whether your approval workflow created with SharePoint Designer 2010 platform. Maybe
    the following checkbox is enabled "For each group entered, assign a task to every member of that group" in the workflow.
    Best Regards,

    iPhone 3GS iOS 6.1.3 -  camera doesn't work. Shutter won't open & camera button becomes disabled. Pls advise what to do? I have already tried resetting the phone several times.

    Hello Kunmon,
    The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Approval Workflow Tasks in 2010

    It seems that in 2010 the only individual who can approve a task assigned to them from an Approval workflow is the person it is assigned to; prior to this, the individual who started the workflow and site administrators could also approve anothers task. 
    Has this ability been locked down in 2010?

    You can add the group to an Owners section of the workflow so you can delegate the tasks without the help of the site collection administrator/Farm admin.

  • Outlook 2010 won't open after installing icloud for windows

    Hi,
    Installed icloud for windows at work this morning after moving my MM account to icloud at home on my MBP.
    Installed ok but after ticking the mail, contacts, calendar and bookmark boxes on icloud for windows Outlook 2010 starts but won't open and stays on the "Processing..." for a long time before I close it.
    Also the icloud for windows control panel won't reopen except the time it opens after installation. I have tried removing it and rebooting but after it's installed, if you close the control panel it won't reopen although it's still running in Task Manager. Closing it in Task Manager and restarting doesn't make a difference.
    Currently I removed, rebooted and reinstalled and only have the bookmarks ticked and outlook works ok but the control panel still won't reopen.
    I am on a exchange server so don't know if this is part of the problem. Not real worried about mail but would like calendars working again.
    Very thankful for any help you can offer.

    I had the same problem after successfully moving from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday on my PC, ipad and iphone.
    Today I couldn't open Outlook 2010. An Outlook dialogue box for my MobileMe email account kept asking for the email password, and although I put the password in, it kept re-appearing.
    I turned off Norton spam temporarily, because I noticed Outlook was stuck processing the Norton plug ins at opening, and managed to open Outlook but the programme crashed every time I tried to access my email account settings (I thought I would try to delete the MobileMe email account).
    I then opened the Control Panel for iCloud and unchecked the Mail with Outlook box, which has enabled Outlook to work again. The @me.com email account was gone when I checked the email accounts. I never needed to use the @me.com email account anyway.
    How frustrating and such a waste of my time.
    Does anyone know what difference it makes if the MobileMe/iCloud email is not connected to Outlook? Does it really make any difference when you have your email accounts in the iPad and iPhone anyway?

  • Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start after a recent windows 8 update -- how to fix?

    I just had a Windows 8 auto update happen and then my Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start. When I go to open it, it gets to the usual screen but then an error message shows up saying that Windows has encountered a problem and needs to shut the program down, and will notify me if a solution exists. What to do?

    Do you see anything useful in the Event Viewer logs? Have you tired rebooting? Does it start if you log in with a different username?

  • Popup won't open from button

    I have this strange thing when trying to invoke a popup when clicking on a commandButton.
    I get a warning in my server output telling me he can't open a popup in a full page request.
    I use the same code, in the same page in the context facet of a af:table to open the same popup and that works just fine.
    Here is the facet of my table:
    <f:facet name="context">
                        <af:contextInfo id="ci1">
                            <af:clientAttribute name="aid" value="#{row.id}"/>
                            <af:showPopupBehavior triggerType="click" popupId="::myPopup"/>
                        </af:contextInfo>
                      </f:facet>I use this for my commandButton
    <af:commandButton id="btnNew" text="New">
                <af:clientAttribute name="aid" value="0"/>
                <af:showPopupBehavior triggerType="click" popupId="::myPopup"/>
            </af:commandButton>When i use this, jdeveloper tells me "Reference ID ::myPopup does not exist". When i remove the :: i don't get an error. When i deploy with the :: and ignore the jdeveloper error, i get the error saying opening a popup from a full-page request is not supported. I do get the same error when i remove the :: and use myPopup instead of ::myPopup so it does not make a difference.
    ANybody has a clue why this is and why i can invoke the popup from my af:table and not from a commandButton?
    This is the declaration of my popup:
    <af:popup id="myPopup" launcherVar="source" contentDelivery="lazyUncached" eventContext="launcher">
    </af:popup>Edited by: Yannick.O on 13-Apr-2010 23:49

    Thanks. Setting the partialSubmit to true worked!
    I believe i have seen this working without the partialSubmit.
    Are their any rules when the partialSubmit should be used for the popup and when not because i'm quiet sure i have seen this working without the partialSubmit. I would just like to know why...
    Why do i have to use the ::myPopup in the af:table and just myPopup to identify the popup? Why is the :: and when to use it? I'm a bit confused here.

  • Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

    I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
    I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
    Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
    Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
    that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
    OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
    scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
    Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
    of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
    I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
    info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
    Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

    Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
    I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
    problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
    who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
    So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
    (the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
    Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
    that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
    (For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
    email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
    Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
    and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ... 
    why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
    the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
    These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
    me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
    to spot said critical attachment.
    Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
    basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
    Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
    me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
    Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
    Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
    The whole .doc .vs 
    docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
    Bulleting function grayed out
    Spelling errors not highlighted
    Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
    Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
    Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
    Track Changes not accurately recorded
    These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
    This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
    To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
    “Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not. 
    I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
    awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.

  • My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

    help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

    If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

  • Safari 3.0.3 won't open PDF files in new window & won't download to desktop

    When I click on a PDF file at a website Safari opens a new browser window but the window is always blank. The PDF file never appears. When I try to download the file to the desktop (right click) it doesn't download. I've read everything about the PDF problem posted at any relevant forum here. I've tried the Quicktime MIME approach. Didn't work. I've disabled the "open PDF in browser" option in Adobe Reader. Didn't work. I've looked for the Adobe plug-in to relocate. Didn't work. I downloaded Adobe Reader 8. Didn't work. When I make Adobe the default rather than Preview, Safari still doesn't open the PDF files or download them. Is there anyone in the computing world who actually can fix this problem? And why hasn't this recurring problem that has affected so many others been escalated to Apple for resolution???!!!

    Installing the newest version of Adobe Reader and restarting Safari fixed this issue for me.
