    Workflow cannot create browser enabled forms

    Hi all,

    Strange glitch here, I hope somebody can help!

     

    What I have:

    • A Form Library - FormsLib.
      This contains customised template, published from InfoPath.
      The template was browser enabled during the publish process
      FormsLib is also browser enabled
      When I click "new" in FormsLib, a new, blank form opens in a browser.
      If I click on a form that already resides in the library, the form will open in a browser.
      This all works fine.
    • A List - NewList.
      When I click "new" in the list, there is only one field to fill, Title.
    • A Custom Workflow - CreateForm
      Developed in SharePoint Designer. 
      CreateForm is initiated by the creation of a new item in NewList.
      CreateForm then automatically creates a form in Form Library

    What Should Happen:

    1. When a new item is created in the NewList, I am promted to give the new item a Title.
    2. I do this and I am brought back to the list where I can see the new item
    3. A new form is created in FormsLib
    4. When I go to FormsLib and I click on the form, it opens in a browser.

     

    What Happens:

    • Steps 1 - 3 above are fine, but when I click on the newly created form in FormsLib, I am prompted to download the form, i.e. it is not browser enabled.
    • If I compare this workflow-created form to another form that was created manually in FormsLib, I notice that they both have different file extensions in their URLs. The file that was created manually and opens in a browser has the extension - xml, whilst the other form has the extension - xsn.

     

     

    Any Ideas ?
