Unable to open SharePoint 2010 task from any Microsoft Office application - cannot open a new form (schema validation errors)

I can’t get the Microsoft Office SharePoint Task integration to work with any SharePoint 2010 Workflows. When any end user clicks the “Open this task…”
button from outlook (or any other office application) a warning dialog appears stating that:
“Outlook cannot open a new.
The form contains schema validation errors.”
The error details are:
Element '{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}div' is unexpected according to content model of parent element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}Body'.
Some points to note:
I can replicate this using on several computers running as different users.
I have full control over the site and the task I am trying to open.
When I navigate via the SharePoint site I can open the task.
The Info Path form that cannot be opened was automatically created by automatically SharePoint designer / InfoPath. I have subsequently deleted the form and published
the workflow (which created the InfoPath form again).
I am running Mircosoft Office Professional Plus 2010 version 14.0.5128.5000 (32-bit)
One workaround is to remove the “Open this task…” button as per
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/eb273ee9-6a4b-409c-8eb0-5351bb113386/. This is not ideal and will be my last resort.
Any suggestions and or thoughts appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, I tried that. It did not work for me.
I have 4 site collections. The main site collection is the only one that I receive the error.
When the user clicks on the email link and opens the document for approval, they receive the following error when they click on "Open This Task".
Element '{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}a is unexpected according to content model of
parent element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}Body'.
There is nothing wrong with the task list itself, just the link from the Office 2010 client.
I am wondering if there is a web config or other file on the server that is specific to the site collection??

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?

Best regards.

Would like to sync Sharepoint 2010 task with Outlook and iPhone

Hi
I have a Sharepoint 2010 server - function as intranet server, and as a project webserver.
When I create a new project in SP, I also get a Task list. Very good. And I can also connect the project to Outlook. Very good that as well :)
I do have an Exchange 2010 server as well.
But... I also use a iPhone - where I have connected my mail, calender and task. This is working fine.
The problem is the task from Sharepoint project. When I try to add new task list, I just find the list where I have added e-mail accunts. Not the one from SharePoint.
Anyboy following? :)
So, is it possible too Sync Sharepoint 2010 task list with your personal outlook tasklist? :)

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
another one with all users.
I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
Thanks

While
the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
information that are already in the system? Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list.
Here’s our plan:
Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
Let’s get going! Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer. I also want to give credit Laura
Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step. I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
So obviously we need a contacts list. If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010. Let’s add our elements to the form.
Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon. This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above. With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon.
Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
We should end up with something like this:
Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL. Click Next.
Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName. Click Next.
Click Next on the next two screens.
On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
(Secondary) option. Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName. Click ok.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW. At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form). Expand this, then pc:Person,
and highlightAccountId. Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user. So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for. We take the AccountID field from the people
picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection.
Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
We’re closing in on our goal. Let’s see our progress. We should see something like this:
Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form. The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate. We need to add an action step for
each field. I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields. Let’s update the Job Title field.
Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Highlight the field Job Title.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option. Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field. Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
Data button, then Add.
For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group. The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
under PropertyData. Click Ok.
In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text. Then type the text Title.
Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane. The last previous screen will look like this.
We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory. You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc. For the other fields, the
steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change. Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
We’re all done, good work! You can preview the form and try it now. Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form. Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library. Click File –> Quick
Publish. Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
Now open your form in SharePoint. From the contact list, click Add new item. Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

How to Restore a SharePoint 2010 Sitecollection from Prod to Pre-Prod?

How to Restore a SharePoint 2010 Sitecollection from Prod to Pre-Prod?
The patching levels are different from each environment.
Tools installation is same.
Note: Suggest me to restore a site from site template without content.
If you have any better approach please tell me.
Many Thanks,
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
It isn't possible (out of the box) to restore a production to a development site without the content.
If you're happy with restoring the content, it's quite easy to backup a SharePoint farm and then restore only a site (form the farm backup) to a development farm.
Have a look at these forum posts for more info (in the first link, I gave an example script):

Unable to print to pdf from any of my applications

Hello,
I am running Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. Toshiba Qosmio 64 bit. I am unable to print to pdf from any of my applications. Office, Mozilla, Lotus 1-2-3 and others. When I choose the print option. And from the drop down menu choose Adobe PDF as the printer. And when I click to continue I get the little metered bar showing it's working, but then I get an error in the printer que. I don't even get an option what to save it as or where to save it to. It just goes straight to the metered bar showing its working. And it does this for all my programs where I can print to pdf. Can anyone help me? Also, this is a student version. Could the student version be unable to do this?
Thank you,
JimmyJoney

Although Acrobat 8 is not supported on Win 7, you can try a few things. First, apply all updates to Acrobat 8. If this doesn't help, check to make sure that the PDF port was created. If not, you can try:
Open Control Panel, select Printers
* Click Add a Printer
* Click Add a local printer
* Select Use an existing port (should be preselected), change the port to "Desktop \*.pdf (Adobe PDF Port), click Next
* On the next page, click Have Disk...
* Click Browse and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF (or wherever you have Acrobat installed), click OK.
* It should now show a series of "Adobe PDF Converter" entries. Select the first one and click Next
* Change the printer name if desired, uncheck the box to use it as a default printer, click Next
* Do not print a test page, click Finish
* Find your new printer in Printers. Right click on it and select Properties, Advanced
* Click "Print directly to the printer", click OK
These last steps are detailed in the following discussion.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

SharePoint 2010 Upgrade from SharePoint 2007

Planning to stand up a new SharePoint 2010 farm. Currently have a MOSS 2007 farm with integrated Project 2007. Looking for online links [Book recommendations fine also] for the best process to get all the guts over in the cleanest way possible.
Also...need to understand the **Project 2007 [PWA] integration piece moving it over to SharePoint 2010. Haven't found much out there specific to moving that Project 2007 content and functionality over to a new 2010 farm.
Many thanks, MP.

How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly. I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App. Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
APB

Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
- Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
- Touch "Open in..."
- Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

How to exit from a WebDynpro ABAP application and open another url

Hi Friends,
How to exit from a WebDynpro ABAP application and open another url like (www.yahoo.com) in the same window of the WD4 application on click of a Button?
Regards,
Xavier

Hi,
First of all you should create outbound plug in the window you are trying to exit with plufg type "Exit"
Then create method handler in the view with this code
        data lo_view_cntr type ref to if_wd_view_controller.
        data lo_win_cntr type ref to if_wd_window_controller.
        data: l_parameter_list type wdr_event_parameter_list,
              l_parameter type wdr_event_parameter,
              l_val type ref to data,
              l_val_url type REF TO data.
        field-symbols: <fs> type any,
                       <fs_url> type any.
        lo_view_cntr = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
        lo_win_cntr = lo_view_cntr->get_embedding_window_ctlr( ).
        CREATE DATA l_val type c.
        CREATE DATA l_val_url type string.
        ASSIGN l_val->* to <fs>.
        ASSIGN l_val_url->* to <fs_url>.
        <fs> = 'X'.
        <fs_url> = 'http://your-link.com'.
        l_parameter-name = 'URL'.
        l_parameter-value = l_val_url.
        INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_parameter_list.
        lo_win_cntr->if_wd_view_controller~fire_plug( EXPORTING plug_name = 'EXIT_PLUG'
                                                                parameters = l_parameter_list ).
      You can easily change this logic to exit application instead of redirecting to the site
       just changing to
       l_parameter-name = 'CLOSE_WINDOW'.

Outlook 2010 : Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

Hi
Using Outlook 2010 with an Exchange 2003 back-end.
Already have an Outlook profile (created in Outlook 2003).
When launching Outlook 2010 I get:
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window"
I've read several posts with this error message and a common "workaround" / "solution" was to run: “Outlook.exe /resetnavpane”
I tried that and it didnt resolve the issue.
The only way I found to resolve this was to create a new Outlook profile.
Launching with a new Outlook profile works fine.
- Is this a "known issue" ?
- Is there a way to diagnose / throubleshoot further without having to create a new profile?
Thanks
- AL

Hi,
Thank you for using Outlook IT Pro Discussions forum.
This problem can occur when file that maintains the Navigation Pane settings becomes corrupted. This file is called profilename.xml, where profilename is the name
of your Outlook profile. Normally, we can resolve this issue by starting Outlook with the command
Outlook.exe /resetnavpane
or
creating a new Outlook profile.
Next time, you may also try to rename the profilename.xml from the folder first to see if the issue can be resolved:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Windows Vista, Windows 7: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
For more information, you can refer to this KB article:
Error starting Outlook: "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window."
