Not able to open SharePoint workflow task in Outlook
I have InfoPath forms in a forms library on SharePoint and associated workflows that were created in SharePoint Designer. The workflow includes regular tasks and approval tasks. I have full permissions to everything in SharePoint. I would receive tasks in
Outlook and be able to open them without any issues. Suddenly, I can no longer open them. Other users who receive these tasks are still able to open them. I first get the message "Could not open 'https://sitename/-layouts/formResource.aspx?templateFile=https://sitename/Workflows/WorkflowName/TaskName.xsn'.
When I click OK, I get the message "Outlook cannot open a new form. To open the file, access to the following form template is required: https://sitename/-layouts/formResource.aspx?templateFile=https://sitename/Workflows/WorkflowName/TaskName.xsn".
Any suggestions on how to resolve?
Found some solutions that might be what you're experiencing. Be sure to read all the way to the end for a couple differrent fixes:

Not able to open SharePoint 2010 Site in SharePoint Designer 2010
Hi all,
I have SharePoint 2010 Environment and when I try to open the site in SharePoint Designer with the regular URL (https://xyz.com)
some time i am getting error "'The server sent a response which SharePoint Designer could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation server, check with the server's administrator to make sure Microsoft
Foundation is installed properly" and some time its work fine and open the site without any issue... but when i try to open the site with the internal URL like (http://Servername:Port) it work perfectly.
Even i am not able to open the custom workflow in SharePoint designer whenever i am able to open the site with my regular URL (https://xyz.com) and getting error "Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow", but with
the Internal URL (http://Servername:Port) i am able to open that workflow without any issue.
Please suggest!!!Hi NaveenKSah,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you opened AAM url of a site with SharePoint 201o Designer.
Please try to add <remove verb="*" path="*.asmx" /> after <httpHandlers> in the site web.config file, compare the result.
Note: before changing the web.config file, please make a backup for the file.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Cannot open Sharepoint 2010 task with Outlook 2013
Before I start, I have already gone through the "Unable to open Sharepoint 2010 task from any office application - cannot open new form (schema validation errors). I have tried all the fixes listed in that thread to no avail.
What I am wondering is if it there is something more complex happening because I have outlook 2013 but our SP server is 2010.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to make this work? I have tried everything that I have found and a lot more to try and resolve this, have been working on and off on this problem for more than 6 months. Any help would be appreciated.Hi Matt,
According to your description, the task cannot be open in Outlook 2013.
The issue may be with any Multiple lines of text fields in Enhanced Rich text type in the SharePoint 2010 Task List or the associated task list for the workflow.
I recommend to check for any Multiple lines of text fields(such as Description field) in the SharePoint 2010 Task List or the associated task list for the workflow, and change them to Plain text or Rich text instead.
More information are provided in the link below:
http://mysharepointkb.blogspot.in/2012/11/cannot-open-sharepoint-2010-approval.html
If it cannot work, could you please provide more information in the ULS log?
Please go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14 to get the log.
Best regards.

Not able to open the workflow Template.
Hi All,
Recenlty we have moved the workflow templates from 4.6c to ECC 5.0. We are able to open all the workflow templates except one workflow .
While trying to open the workflow template Via PFTC_DIS or SWDD, We are getting following error.
"Type definition for element 'DEL_TEXT' is invalid".
Please help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sarayoodharan.K"Type definition for element 'DEL_TEXT' is invalid".
I feel like in the new system to which the workflow was transported, there in that system, in the workflow conatiner this element is missing and
You can get confirmed, by using Syntax Check (CTRL + F2 ) which might help you to know a better status of the workflow template which is bothering you
Please make a check and try to report the workflow, if there any exsists , then please Generate a version of currrent definition workflow and then make changes to it to fix the bug associated with the Workflow template -

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.

Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011
I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication. When clicking on an Office file they get
'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps). This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.
I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site. When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
servers are supported' message. If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
Any ideas??Hi Szamir,
As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

How do I reset Firefox if I am not able to open the application after ending it on the task manager?
We changed the privacy options on firefox, closed the program, and now we are not able to open it. We have ended the process on the task manager, but it still will not open. We tried to uninstall it but it won't even let us do that. I've read lots of articles on how to reset firefox, but it isn't helpful when i can't get into firefox to try it.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Can you bring up the Profile Manager to create a new profile?

I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?
I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner -

I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.
I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments. When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open. I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen. It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled. It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted. In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server". On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off. Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either. I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before. I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem. I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist. I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem. I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

Not able to open XMind files from IE in read only mode
I have configured my SharePoint Farm to support .xmind file types
Below are the steps I have done
1.
Added an entry in DOCICON.XML
<Mapping Key="xmind" Value="xmind_file1.png" EditText="XMind Mapping Software" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
2. Added an entry in htmltransinfo.xml
<Mapping Extension="xmind" AcceptHeader="application/vnd.xmind.workbook" HandlerUrl="" ProgId=""/>
3. Added a MiME type 'application/vnd.xmind.workbook' in the Inetmgr.
Now, xmind files are getting detected, but I am not able to open xmind files in read only mode from IE.
Xmind files are working perfectly from Mozilla, but my client wants the xmind to be working perfectly from IE.
Need a help on this issue....Hi Aries,
Please find the screenshot below , while I am trying to open the xmind file in read only mode. It is redirecting the user to a blank page...
Also please find the extract from the fiddler when trying to open it after selecting the read only mode
