Solving InfoPath "the form has been closed" on form submit

By

The Prompt after Submitting the Form instead of redirecting to the form library
I recently encounter this issue after publishing and testing my InfoPath 2010 form published in a SharePoint 2013 site library.

As opposed to my other published forms, this specific form is throwing a prompt that says "the form has been closed" after submitting the form instead of redirecting to the library.

After browsing the internet, I have been to this blog post which mentions about the caused they found out after raising the issue to Microsoft. According to them, the reason might be because of the same IDs of the controls which happens if we are copy pasting controls to the same views or others views.

That is probably true because I have copied a particular view and used it in another view, and when I checked the control ID, it was the same with the control ID from where I copied it.

Although the ID must auto-generate its new unique ID if we copy paste some controls, there are times that it would not and that might trigger this error.

To solve that problem, I have checked my controls and their respective IDs and compare that to all other control IDs in all the views and change the IDs for the controls that has the same IDs, they must be unique to each other.

To check the ID: Click the Control>Properties Tab>Control Properties>General Tab (Alternatively you can also just right-click on the Button Control and select "Button Properies")

Screenshot of the Button Properties which contains it ID

Be sure all the IDs are unique and different from each other. After making sure they are unique, publish your form again and try submitting another form and you will see that the prompt "the form has been closed" is gone and will just redirect to the form library instead.

Reaction Paper for the movie The Count of Monte Cristo

By
The Second Part of the Reaction Paper on the Count of Monte Cristo Movie. The Count of Monte Cristo is a great story that helps you to realize how far the reaches of vengeance can really go. When the Count is going around ruining people it seems like he is more of a machine than a person. It seems like he has no emotions and can’t forgive the people who hurt him. Although some people might argue that the people who wronged the Count truly had what was coming to them, some of the Count’s actions could be seen as unnecessary. In the end everyone will be punished or rewarded by God and you shouldn’t be worried about what other people do or say as much as you are worried about yourself. “God will give me justice,” this line which was engraved in the wall on the prison was retained on my mind when I watched the movie” The Count of Monte Cristo.” This movie amazed me very much because of its excellent theme. I really like the story because it has a mixed of drama, suspense and rom

Pluggle Review: 6 Reasons Why I doubt Pluggle and Why I'm Not Joining

By
First thing first, I am not concluding that this Pluggle is a scam because as per my observation and as far as my knowledge is concerned, people including my close friends seems profiting from this scheme and got the money they invested into it in a short period of time, and with profit ( although I'm sure the return of investment they got was paid by the people they invited and not from the company itself ). I think there's no doubt as to their legitimacy because, YES they are legitimate and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines as PLUGGLE INC. Are they scam? " Scam " is defined as a " dishonest scheme or a fraud ", are they being dishonest? I think no because they intend to do what they say. Are they " fraudulent "? Fraud is defined as " wrongful or criminal deception intended  to result in financial or personal gain "? This is also vague but I think I was struck by the last pa
