InfoPath forms on O365 SharePoint save fine but vanish when submitted.

Hey there,
I'm a bit stuck on a problem I'm having with InfoPath and Office 365 SharePoint Online that I'm hoping someone might have some insight on.
I have a InfoPath 2013 form that is setup to be run on and submit to a SharePoint Form Library as part of a larger SharePoint workflow.
I can publish the form to SharePoint and when I click new in the form library a new form is created as expected. Once I've completed the form I am able to save the form, give it a file name and close it and it immediately shows up in the form list, everything
is working perfectly.
However, I don't want the submitters setting their own file name and from a UX perspective I'd like to remove the ribbon altogether and just have a submit button at the bottom of the form and let InfoPath generate a filename based on a predefined convention.
The problem is that when I use the submit functionality — regardless of whether I do it from the Submit button on the ribbon or through the custom button — everything seems to work but the form just vanishes. I never got an error, I saw the 'submitting data
to server' message very briefly, from everything I can see the form should have saved perfectly but it just isn't there.
It's almost as if the form is being saved somewhere on SharePoint but not in the right location but I've been all through the teamsite and I've done a bunch of searching and I can't find any trace of it anywhere.
I've checked the data connection a dozen times, I've even rebuilt the form entirely once or twice and every time save works fine but submit just disappears. 
I've also discussed this issue with our developer working on the workflow and he can't think of anything on his end that would cause this to happen.
Any ideas? I really appreciate any help you can give! Thanks!
Details:
InfoPath 2013
Form has 50 fields, though only half of them are bound to a form element yet.
There are currently two views but the problem occurs if I just have the single default.
Office 365/SharePoint Online
Typical form library on a subsite on a dev teamsite.

Hey Lisa,
Sorry for the slow reply, I had to put this on the back burner for a few days.
I do not have any permissions or account related rules in the form, in fact, the only rules I have at all are those attached to the submit button. There are likely some in the workflow, I'll confirm that with the developer working on that component.
In the meantime, I've tried creating another form library on our SharePoint installation as well as one on our clients (both are Office 365/SharePoint Online) and tried deploying the form without the workflow.
The save and close buttons continue to work as expected but using the Submit button on the ribbon gives me the following error:
An error occurred while using the form. For more information, contact the site administrator.
An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server.
Log ID:5567
Correlation ID:c65ed79c-502d-1000-a60d-683cc0a1fca7
Is it even possible to get to the Windows event log of the server on a hosted O365 SharePoint?

  • Unable to change and re-publish existing InfoPath forms on External SharePoint lists (SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Online and On Premise)

    Hi everybody,
    I really reached the limit of my diagnostic ability... ...please help me!!!!
    I subscribed an Online Sharepoint 2013 Development site to try Business Connectivity Services and InfoPath forms. Using SharePoint Designer 2013 I successfully created an external content type
    and an external list, including InfoPath forms.
    When I use InfoPath Designer 2013 to customize the forms I can open and change them without any problems, but when I try to publish the changes I made I get the following error:
    "An error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened using InfoPath filler"
    (please note that I changed just an existing label, without adding any new control or new fields).
    If I try to do exactly the same things but with an normal SharePoint list everything works like a charm!
    I noted that the main difference between the internal/external list is that with the internal list the publishing path in InfoPath 2013 is something like:
    https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>
     whereas for the external list is something like the following:
     https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
    Trying to overcome the problem I installed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise on premise using the VM from the Windows Azure Gallery. In this case the error I get when I try to publish with InfoPath
    Designer 2013 is the following:
     The following URL is not valid:
    http://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
    and of course everything works fine with InfoPath Designer 2013 and regular SharePoint lists.
    Even if I believe the problem is in general with external list and InfoPath, my external list is based on a the "Product" table from the "AdventureWorks2012" sample database
    installed on SQL Azure and connected to SharePoint via Business Connectivity Services.
    A big
    thanks in advance to anyone who is able to
    provide useful information to solve the problem!!!

    Fabio

    Hi Folks,
    Same issue here for any external list. We've migrated from 2010 to 2013 - it used to be fine on 2010. 2013 seems hang after 'getting site column information' then nothing. All effected users can quick publish to regular sharepoint lists, but cannot to external
    lists.
    In our situation we are trying to quick publish to sites using the 2010 look and feel in a 2013 environment. using SharePoint Designer 2013 and InfoPath 2013.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Deploy InfoPath Forms across Ms SharePoint environments

    Hi,
    I have created workflows in MS SharePoint 2010 and added MS InfoPath forms in it. However, when migrating the workflow from DEV to TEST environment, the InfoPath is not included. I would like to export the MS InfoPath form DEV and import it into TEST environment.
    I am looking for help regarding the migration. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

    Hi Abhijit,
    For migrating workflow with InfoPath Forms in SharePoint 2010,you can refer to the steps as below:
    1. Export source files of the form. Open form in InfoPath designer. And because we can't republish it to the different place using wizard (its type is a Workflow form), we should Export source files (from the menu File\Publish) to some folder. 
    After this step we received a set of files, one of which is "manifest.xsf".
    2. Close InfoPath designer.
    3. Correct URLs in manifest.xsf Open "manifest.xsf" in a text editor. Find all URL related to the first site collection and replace it with new URLs linked to new site collection. Save the file.
    Hint: If you don't know the URL to publish in new site collection, you can open autogenerated form from it in the same manner (look at URLs in its manifest.xsf).
    4. Publish changed form. Open InfoPath designer, open corrected manifest.xsf in it and publish it (by pressing the publish button for example).
    5. Hurray! The form is deployed to the new place!
    You should repeat this steps for all custom InfoPath task forms in your workflow.

  • Hiding submit button from an Infopath form in a Sharepoint Library document

    I have a Sharepoint document library that is setup to collect submissions from a form that faces the public.  Because it faces the public it needs to have the standard/familiar submit button.  The problem is that when the form is submitted to the
    document library and the document is reviewed, it still contains the button - which will be confusing/complained about by staff.
    I attempted to use a hidden boolean field that would switch to "True" when the submit button is clicked and then use conditional formatting to hide the button before submitting through the data connection.  But apparently, there is no way
    to move the conditional formatting rules after the action rules that make the boolean swith.
    I then tried to switch to a new view that was identical to my Main view before submitting but the button is still appearing on the submitted documents in the form library.
    I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this?  I have to think I'm missing something obvious.

    Please try this -

  • Have Infopath form interact with Sharepoint 2013 Workflow

    Situation
    I am working on a system having the user fill-in a sequence of list-forms. Form 1 initiates form 2 after closing, Form 2 initiates form 3 after closing etc. This is done by altering the Source= part of the form URL
    Form 1 fills list 1 and initiates a workflow to update some fields. This is to prepare some data for form 2. This data is stored in a temporary list
    Form 2 fills list 2 gets data from the temporary list and initiates a workflow to update some fields
    Problem
    When the second form is started, the workflow of the first is not finished yet. In that case the second form uses the wrong data from list 1.
    I want to have form2 waiting for a status update on the first workflow so that the correct data is transferred from form 1 to form2
    Question
    How can I delay the presentation/update of a form based on a status of a list workflow. I want to use out-of-the box techniques and avoid program code

    No, you cannot submit form values of a acrobat to SharePoint. You can use list form for basic form, else try using jquery to build custom forms as an alternative for infopath. Refer to the following codeplex solution. You could use this or build one similar
    to that using the source code.

  • Save Form task TS17900108 database save failed but no workflow error

    Hello Friends,
    We are using process and forms workflow in business for various PA OM related processes. Some time (once in 2 weeks or so) what happens is we get ticket from users saying that they got approval emails for a actions stating that action has been successful but when they go in system and check the infotype, no updates have been made. I checked the workflow logs in SAP and there are no errors thrown by workflow. It shows all steps were completed successfully including save to database. Also checked infotypes and it does not show changes made either.
    I am perplexed as to where save failed and because of what reasons and why workflow did not throw an error?
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Arpit

    I got a note which resolves this issue

  • InDesign CS6 saves file, but crashes when I try to open this file

    Hi,
    I am having a huge problem with Indesign since yesterday. It worked fine before.
    I use Adobe Creative Suite CS6.
    Since yesterday, I have problems with files that I just saved. I can open older files (from before yesterday), but I cannot open any file that I saved recently. Indesign crashes every time I open the file (the file is visible, but right before all the palettes are loaded, Indesign closes down).
    I already saved several files (under different file names) since yesterday, the problem stays the same.
    I already uninstalled and re-installed CS6, it didn't solve the problem.
    This is quite a nightmare. I am thankful for every effort to help!
    All other programs in the Creative Suite work fine!

    It is puzzling indeed. And quite a desaster for me, since I have a deadline to meet.
    No changes, no new installations (not known, maybe updates in the background??).
    InDesign started crashing in the middle of the workprocess. Since then the problem persists.
    When I open an old file and start working on it, InDesign also crashes after a while during the workprocess.
    So I can't work, I can't save files ... booo!
    This happened with an update of a document that I work on all the time, a monthly magazine.
    Maybe it is a Windows problem, although it is strange that all other programs work fine. (I use Windows XP)

  • Airport Extreme N works fine but not when WDS activated

    I replaced my old Airport Extreme by the new 802.11n.
    Works fine with our Macbooks (pro) enabled for n.
    But when I activate WDS (I'd like to use my old airport Express for airtunes sometimes), an error message appears (WDS error) in the summary, and the light flashes alternatively in green and yellow... Everything else seems to work (internet connexion), but it seems no WDS possible... If I swtich it off, everything is just fine and green...
    Of course I reinitialized the base, I once used the Airport utility assistant and then manually reput my personal options. I upgraded my airport firmware to 7.1 and WDS error message is still there with the flashing light... And I tried to see if my old express would make it but nope.

    I had similar issues. To roll the firmware back to an earlier version try this:
    - With the option key depressed, launch the Airport Utility (located: /Applications/Utilities)
    - Select your problematic extreme base station and then while holding option again, click "Continue" and then choose Manual Setup.
    - It should prompt you to choose a firmware version to upload. You can select 7.0 or 7.1.
    The process is a little different on PC. Let me know if this solves your problem or if you need the directions for doing this from within Windows!

  • In Photoshop CC timeline, when I add an audio track photoshop CC either quits working or it skips to the end of the video clip.  If I just put in audio it works fine.  If I just put in clips or pics it works fine, but now when audio is added

    When I try to use the timeline portion of photoshop, I can't get the audio to work with my clips.  I can get audio to work fine when using just audio, but the minute I try to add audio to a set of clips either photoshop quits working or it skips to the last clip in my show.  I don't understand why this happens.  I am using the same track each time.  Very frustrating.

    Topic or subject titles should be clear, pertinent and concise so that individual users can tell at a glance if they can help or not.
    That field is not for attempting to fit your entire question in there.
    Please keep this in mind next time you post.  Thank you.

  • SWF works fine but breaks when embedded online - very odd!

    Hello,
    I encountered a really strange Flash problem and appreciate any help or insight you could share.
    As you can see on http://knowledge.allianz.com/en/media/ecards/50/blind/62.html the last part of the Flash movie seems to be broken. Oddly enough, when I take the embedded SWF and view it seperately:http://knowledge.allianz.com/nopi_downloads/swfs/Allianz_ecard_holland_2_1.swf - everything seems to be fine!
    I'm not a flash expert, I don't know what can go wrong with embedding etc. but the actual FLA file seems to be ok, the map layer that is coming through randomly at the end shouldn't even be there! The frames at this point of the timeline on this layer are actually empty.
    Has anyone ever come across a similar issue and can point me in the right direction?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paz

    Yes, I resolved the problem. It had nothing to do with layer visibility or masking. The FLA I provided had all layers visible. I downloaded it myself and checked it again and there are definitely no crossed out layers.
    The issue was a completely different one. As so often the weirdest problems have the simplest solutions. The SWF was embedded with wmode='transparent' which caused a screenshot that the client put as background of the div containing the Flash to show through a part of the SWF that didn't have a background. That's why it looked like a random part of the flash movie suddenly appears at this point, when in reality it was only an image on the site (if they had used yellow smileys as placeholders I would have noticed it a lot sooner). I didn't notice the transparent bit in the SWF because I only tested it on a white background. I have now put a white background in and everything seems to be fine.  Thanks for having a look anyway.
    take care,
    Paz

  • Firefox has been working fine but now when it "opens" it briefly flashes off my normal screen and I can't maximize or minimize it. I've tried to uninstall, etc

    I've tried everything and nothing has worked. I love FireFox and hate Internet Explorer--please help!!!

    Couple thoughts:
    (1) Does Firefox still seem to have an active window "somewhere" based on having a tile on the Windows 7 Task Bar?
    If so, how did you try to maximize it?
    If you think Firefox is running but is off-screen, check out this post for getting a normally positioned window: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/941896#answer-381295
    (2) Does your home page use any Flash media?
    If so, try disabling the Flash Player plugin's protected mode. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    If you want to test a neutral page first, make sure all Firefox windows are closed, then start up Firefox from the Start menu search box using:
    firefox.exe "about:blank"
    If that works normally, then it's something about your home page.
