Solving SharePoint error "This form cannot be opened in a Web browser. To open this form, use Microsoft InfoPath"

By
The error when you try opening your items [in a SharePoint Library] created through Nintex Workflow with a Correlation ID:  95b98d9d-5b21-60e1-f907-80a67d61c809
Before trying to make any changes to the normal settings of your InfoPath Forms and your SharePoint Library where error occurs, be sure to let your SharePoint Administrator look at the error logs first using the correlation ID for you to look deeper regarding the error because this error happens in various scenarios and sometimes, it can be fixed by just tweaking the settings in your InfoPath Form settings r your SharePoint Libraries.

In my case, this is not a normal settings error because I am trying to open an item created through a Nintext Workfloe Create item action.

To give you a figure, I want to automatically create an item everytime a particuar item on a list is added so that I can then email the user approver to just proceed with their approval task without the hassle of doing something in the form, because that's what we want, right? That's why we are into office automation so that the work will become automated or automatic.

How to Publish InfoPath Form as a Content type in a SharePoint Site Fortunately, yes, that is allowed in Nintex Workflow, you can actually create an item in a SharePoint Library or SharePoint list. It works! No problem at all.
The problem comes out when you tries to open that item, that's when the time you are prompted with the error saying:

This form cannot be opened in a Web browser. To open this form, use MicroSoft InfoPath.

So I even tried tweaking the setting of the Library where the form has been pubished, but still the error is there and it doesn't just work.

Some said it's a kind of client side issue and they have fixed this by changing the library settings to open in the browser like what I've tried below, but it doesn't work either.

The default is the radio button choice with "Use the server default (Open in the browser)
Asked our senior developer but they say they have tried creating an item for SharePoint list but for Library they said it's not working. So this might be a system issue of InfoPath, I guess?

I've Googled this issue and found out that the form created created through workflow is not a browser enabled form, so you can't open it in browser, but what if you need that item to be opened in browser?

I think I got this clear, that you can't make use of the items created though wokflow if you need that item to be opened in browser because that doesn't work now, I hope this issue's gonna be fixed because I believe it's a useful feature for automation.

As of now, developers will just deal with this until update comes or someone's gonna have a brilliant idea to get way with it.

As for me, I'm going to let user create the item and get away with the automation. Yeah, they'll also have to deal with it.

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...
