“The given key was not present in the dictionary” error
I’m working on re-creating a SmartForms application for a client — which was already in progress when I took over for another engineer — when I bumped into the exception described in the the title. This application was deployed from another environment.
Where’s the problem?
Error: K2 SmartForms Content on SharePoint Page Cannot be Displayed
One of my client’s users came to me with an unusual situation — he could reach the SharePoint pages that host the SmartForms application, but none of the SmartForms would appear. Instead, this MacBook user saw messages that read, “The webpage at {URL} might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”
The user works in a remote office, and uses the application infrequently, as needed.
What gives?
Stop Rule Execution Actions Help Prevent Cross-Browser Errors
Yesterday my client presented a problem he was experiencing in Chrome that I could not reproduce in IE 11. The issue, as it turned out, had to do with how SmartForms rules are executed through different browsers.
Error: “There is no such object on the server”

Things just BLEW UP the other night. I connected to the development server, opened my solution in K2 Studio, started to edit, and BLAMMO! Everything went black.
Administrators had to rebuild my blown profile on the server. Once I was able to get into the desktop again, I figured I should have been able to drop shortcuts to K2 Studio and Visual Studio onto my desktop. No big deal, right?
I was able to open K2 Studio, load my solution, but was surprised to see that the solution was not connected to the (local) development environment.
I was even more surprised when anything I tried to do that was related to the server (like open an IPC, for example) yielded a nasty “Primary Credentials Not Authenticated” exception that threw me out of K2 Studio completely.
Processor Architecture WHAT?!
So I’m building along in K2 Studio when I see these two warnings appear when attempting to compile and deploy… Continue reading
“You have insufficient rights to access the task” Error When Attempting to Open SharePoint-based InfoPath Form
A user is unable to open the InfoPath form associated with a workflow task. The exception reads:
You have insufficient rights to access the task. Ensure that you have contribute rights on the site before attempting to open the task.
It’s a SharePoint permissions problem. Fortunately, it’s an easy fix.
‘Please Create a Master Key’ Exception after Copying SQL Databases
When attempting an initial workflow deployment to, OR during initial exploration of the K2 Workspace in, a new development environment, the following exception is received:
Please create a master key in the database or open the master key in the session before performing this operation. The key ‘SCSSOKey’ is not open. Please open the key before using it.
