Close Window.Open after InfoPath 2013 submit form

Hi,
I've made an InfoPath 2013 'new' form in SharePoint 2013, but when the form is committed, it should close. So I've made a button on the form to submit it. In the rules in InfoPath, I said that it should close after submitting.
I open this form from another internal application as a window.open() javascript. In IE, it opens the form, when I submit, it stays open and the SharePoint list where the data is added to is opened too. However, in Chrome, it opens
the list in the same window after submitting, which is already slightly better.
My InfoPath rule when I submit:
So the idea is that the internal application opens the form thru a link, user fills in the form, the form submits to the list and every window closes, so the user can continue in the application, without seeing anything the SharePoint is doing in the background.
Hope any1 can help me solve this issue.
Kind regards,
Nils

Hi,
Thanks for the reaction. I've just checked these links:
The first one: I don't have any rules set to change the view of the list, so this isn't the case.
The second: As you already see in the screenshot, I've set the submit to the right action.
So, I guess neither of them are a solution to my problem, but thanks already for answering!
Hope anyone else or you have/has other idea's.
Thanks in advance,
Nils

Erec - When an External window opens after click of a button

We are using an Standard Webdynpro Erec Appln.
When an External window opens after click of a button the smart form embedded in that windows view is not appearing instead and small X mark (in Red) is appearing with fully plain background
It is happening only for my system, others are able to view it properly...
I have cleared the cache, restarted the system and also re-installed the Adobe Reader too..
But still the problem persists.. Let me know what can be done in this case...
Thanks & regards,
Rashmi

The service that you are trying to use requires integration of adobe with in browser(IE). Check the option [Display PDF in browser |http://lh4.ggpht.com/_E1SpYl0ZbfE/SlI0rfQAxeI/AAAAAAAAAh4/fC9alkf1M78/Adobe_Setting.gif]in Adobe Reader preferences.
If it still doesn't show the PDF, try to reset the browser setting to Medium and re-open.

InfoPath 2013 customized forms no longer working after linking Sharepoint 2010 list to MS Access 2013 database

Hello,
I am having trouble with my infopath form now that I have linked my Sharepoint list to an Access database.
Background: I created a simple SharePoint list and a few workflows to have users submit requests for changes to my organization's EMR system and have those requests be approved by the appropriate manager/department. I used
InfoPath to customize my form so that it would hide/show different portions depending on what the user selected. The form has 3 views: NewItem, EditItem, ViewItem.
Issue: The form and workflows were working great until I linked my SharePoint list to an access database so that I could run queries and reports using that information. Now when I click "Add New Item" on my Sharepoint site,
the correct form opens but the fields do not allow me to input any data and some of the formatting for the form has changed (ie: the text boxe fields are no longer centered. I opened the form in InfoPath and it displays perfectly fine in there but
not once it's published to the site) .
The only way that I've been able to input new data is using Datasheet view in SharePoint.
Is there a way to fix this issue? I really need to be able to have the customized forms for users to fill out the information since most users are not familiar enough with SharePoint to expect them to be able to use Datasheet view to submit their requests.
Again, I'm using InfoPath 2013, Access 2013 & SharePoint Server 2010
If the issue cannot be fixed, how can I disconnect or unlink my SharePoint list from the Access database because when I cliecked on "delete list" from inside Access, a warning popped up stating that it will also delete the list off of SharePoint
as well. If I can get the list back to the state it was in before linking to Access then I'll be happy enough to export it excel and then importh the excel file to Access as a work around for reporting purposes since I don't have to run the reports that
often.
Any insight would be very helpful!!

Hi Bostic,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the InfoPath form was not affected if I used the list as external data in Access database.
The issue may be due to the browser you used.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Change another browser to see how it works.
Add the site to the trusted zone and add to compatibility settings in Internet Explorer.
Test with a new list to narrow down the issue scope.
As a workaround, you can save the list as a template including content, and then create a new list based on this template.

DfMagicStage.nib window opens after upgrading to iLife 08

After upgrading from iLife 06 to iLife 08, every time I boot my Mac Pro a window opens named DfMagicStage.nib. This DfMagicStage.nib window contains the following four files: classes.nib, data.dependency, info.nib, keyedobjects.nib.
I opened up these files in TextEdit and the one thing they appear to have in common is Garage Band references.
Does anyone know what is causing this to happen? I have searched Apple's Support site and these discussion forums, and Google, but have not had any luck figuring this out.

Thanks WH! That worked like a charm. It had been bugging me ever since iLife 08 was released.
You're welcome. Glad to help. That was definitely anomalous/weird for that to happen. So far, I haven't heard of anyone else that has had that happen to them.
Anyway, glad you got it cleared up.

Web app leaving blank window open after streaming pdf under Adobe X

We are working on upgrading to Adobe 10 for around 200 users. We have a web based Java app that is used on our local network. We send out a request to send word/excel/pdf docs to a LAN location from a content database and then the app streams it from there to the user. With pdfs, we have the pdfs open in adobe standard or reader instead of inside the browser.
When this is done, IE pops open a blank window for the streaming. With Adobe V9, excel, and word, when the document is done streaming it closes this blank window down.
With Adobe X, it finishes streaming the file, the pdf opens in Adobe, but the blank IE window never closes. We need to find a fix to this since having 200 users close over 100 blank IE windows a day really isnt an acceptable work around.
Has anyone run across something similar?
Thank you for your help.

How did you "downgrade" back to Adobe 9?? :-)
Sorry for your troubles-
All computers do eventually crash or develop glitches in the software- or turn out a crappy version like Reader X, so I save all downloads to another hardrive or disk for ease of access for when reinstalling them. Fortuanetly, I found that I had Reader 9 saved somewhere. I searched Adobe's downloads and I couldn't find a single trace of Reader 9 in their archives, of course I could've missed it. Maybe scouring the internet might turn up something.
I uninstalled X and reinstalled 9. Of course, Adobe update then wants to reinstall X, but I dismissed the update and hid the Adobe update icon at the bottom of the screen.
I'm running Vista 64 and the two programs didn't work well together. Matter of fact, since after the update was installed and uninstalled and I went back to Reader 9, Reader 9 has started to crash also- not a s bad as X did but it has it's newly found issues inherited from X- I guess.
I have been getting a lot of 'Adobe Reader has stopped working and has to close' error messages lately.
There are a few other readers out there that work as well if not better like Primo PDF. With Primo, I just didn't like all the advertisments one gets when they make a PDF- same with PDF995, so I use CutePDF's printer driver for making PDF's.I actually print more PDF's then I do reading them myself.
I was hoping that Adobe would've got the message by now and correct their faux pas with an update or a better version like Reader XI, but I guess that they are content with what they put out- gag.
Good luck. Maybe find a friend who has Reader 9 saved in their Downloads folder and move it over to a flash drive and then onto your machine??

Safari closes windows, opens App Store promoting some free game or just crashes. Virus?

My iPad air is barely a month old and I'm having issues with Safari closing, crashing or closing the tab that I am reading and opening the App Store as if I'd selected to download a free game. At first I thought this last issue was that I was touching adverts while navigating, but no, it appears to choose to do it all by itself. Is this a virus issue? I have cleared history, caches and cookies. Is there a way to reformat the iPad? Thanks in advance!

Password window opens AFTER mail is displayed

My password window in mail appears AFTER my mail window is open. I want my password window to appear FIRST, before the mail opens up. I thought it would secure my mail but I was able to open my mail before it even asked for a password. Help!

Hi tteina
Your mail account password is used to receive (and, in some cases, send) mail, but it may be stored in your keychain and can be used automatically by the Mail program.
Additionally, any mail that you've already received, and that has been downloaded to your computer, is openly displayed in your Inbox without being locked by a password. This is the way that all mail applications work.
If you're concerned about someone else being able to read your email on the computer, make sure you have a good password on your OS X account, and make sure you have a login prompt when the computer starts up (System Preferences - Accounts - Login Options - untick "Automatically log in as...")
You can also use FileVault to actually encrypt your home folder with your login password, so that it cannot be read without knowing the password.

How do you make the IE window open after you create the url link

can someone help me asap!!!

On the Mac, 'maximize' (the green button in the title bar) is +context sensitive+ - it expands the window based on the content of the window. If the content is not screen-filling, the window won't get any bigger than necessary. There's no 'global' solution to this for OS X, but for Safari in particular, the Saft plugin has an option for full-screen browsing.

When clicked on an icon in the infopath form, it will open another infopath form from another file. How do?

When clicked on an icon in the infopath 2013 form, it will open another infopath 2013 form from another
file. How do?

Hello Eugene Astafiev!
I need the following scenario:
I have a Sharepoint library with items created by Infopath (form A).
I developed another form (form B) that will query items created by form A.
The form B will be in a static "webpart" page navigation (Sharepoint). One of these fields returned by the query library that manages the items created is the URL responsible to load the item data . I would like to parameterize the URL into form B.
So that when the user clicks on it, the form A with their respective data in a modal is returned (which may be a native modal Sharepoint)

So this is new... InfoPath 2013 on SharePoint 2013: Create a New Custom List, Edit Form in InfoPath, Attempt to Publish and...

InfoPath blows up with an error message saying "Invalid form template"...
No, I do not have any added data connections in the form.
No, I have not added any fields or done any modifications of any kind to the form.
I am doing exactly these steps:
Open SPD
Create a New Custom List
Open List in SPD
Click "Design Forms in InfoPath" (Item)
Form opens in InfoPath 2013
Click Publish (or Quick Publish...doesn't matter)
See error message
This wasn't a problem in my environment liiike, a week ago..? The only thing that's different is that I installed some security patches on the servers this morning...

Hi ramz,
Also you can try to check if there are more useful ULS logs related to InfoPath issue according to the time of this error "Invalid form template" occured, it could help troubleshoot the issue.

Remove / replace yellow tooltip "only positive integers allowed" in Infopath 2013 and SharePoint online forms

Hello,
Is there any way to remove or rename the yellow message showing when hovering over the control for a lookup list column in a Infopath 2013 web form?
It is very annoying for users and not even helpful.
Thanks!
Laura

Hi Laura,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred on the lookup column in InfoPath web form.
I recommend to check the properties of the lookup field in InfoPath.
If the settings are the same as the first picture below, please click Xpath behind the Value to change d:Title to d:ID like the second picture.
If above cannot work, I recommend to delete the lookup column in the list and create a new column in single line of text type, then edit the list form in InfoPath following the steps below:
Add the list where you get the value for the lookup field to the InfoPath form as an external data source.
Right click the newly created field, click Change Control and select Drop-Down List Box.
Right click the newly created field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, then select Get choices from an external data source.
Set the properties referring to the second picture above(select the list added as an external data source in step1 in Data Source).
Here are some similar threads for you to take a look:

Window.opener problem in javascript

Hi,
I'm using a code for opening a clild window from the parent window. The child window contains some <input type="file"> elements. After setting the values of these file elements I'm closing the child window. But before closing I want to set the values of file elements to the file elements on my parent window.
The code I'm using is as follows:
"parent.jsp"
=========
function createWindow() {
window.open("child.jsp");
return false;
<form method="post" action="display.jsp" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="button" value="Add Attachments" onClick="return createWindow()"><br>
<input type="file" name="file1"><br>
<input type="file" name="file2"><br>
<input type="file" name="file3"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Form"><br>
</center>
</form>
"child.jsp"
========
function returnToMainWindow() {
window.opener.document.forms[0].file1.value = document.forms[0].filex.value;
window.close();
<form method="post">
<center>
<input type="file" name="filex"><br>
<input type="file" name="filey"><br>
<input type="file" name="filez"><br>
<input type="button" onClick="returnToMainWindow()" value="Done">
</center>
</form> The problem is when I'm setting the values of file control of child window to the file control of parent window using window.opener, it's unable to set up the values. Can someone rectify the problem in the code.

It is impossible to set the value of the file input thing. But if they realy want it in a popup, then you can try something like this:
-1. Put the attatchement list in a iframe
0. Open the parent file with some with somewhere a unique id (like a session id or something
1. Open your child page in a popup, give that uniqueid as parameter ("like child.jsp?id=<uniqueId>")
2. Use regular file input things in that popup, and replace the 'close' button by a submit button
3. Track the submit of the form, show a 'now uploading to server, please wait' message
4. The child page sends the attatchements to the server, stored in a tempory folder named <uniqueId> (store it in the form as a hidden input thing)
5. When the upload is ready, display some message 'files uploaded, close this window to return to your mail'.
6. When the user clicks that 'close' button, close the popup and then reload the attachment-frame
7. The attachment-frame just lists the files stored in that <sessionid> folder, and it seems like the user has added those files to it
If you want i can create an example of it
koentjepoppe
note: if you add the date to that unique id, you know when that folder is created and then you know wich folders you have to delete if the user aborts his mail for example (then those files are still in that folder wasting space)

Infopath 2013 generic error message that displays

In an InfoPath 2013 custom form that I created, I have several columns that are required. If the user does not enter all the data that is required, the automatic generic error message is displayed.
I would prefer to make the error message that is more 'user friendly'. Thus can you tell me if there is a way to make the error message more user friendly? If so, would you tell me how to make the message more user friendly?
The generic error message that is automatically displayed is:
'InfoPath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterisk (required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values). use ctl+shift+O to go to the next error. Use ctl+shift+I to view error details'.
Thus can you show me how to make this error message more user friendly in InfoPath 2013?

Hi Wendy,
All the error messages for the InfoPath form errors are stored in the intlcorestrings.js file which is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\INC.
If you want to modify the error messages, then you can modify that file to change the corresponding error message.
Per my knowledge, the error you want to customize is IntlCoreStrings.k_strSubmitBeforeErrors and IntlCoreStrings.k_strSaveSubmitErrorInformation.
You can change the two lines.
Thanks,
Victoria
