I have an InfoPath 2007 document that is submitted and creates a SharePoint workflow. This works fine in InfoPath 2010 and SharePoint 2007. When upgrading to InfoPath 2013, the document submits without issue, but cannot be opened as part of an approval workflow.

The error received is: "InfoPath cannot open a new form. One or more required custom controls in this form cannot be created." I've seen similar errors to this using web search, but none that were triggered by InfoPath 2013.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I created a copy of the form and republished it as an InfoPath 2013 form. I still receive the error.

I tried deleting one control at a time and republishing as has been suggested. I also tried creating a new form in InfoPath 2013 with the bare minimum of controls. The newly created form contains  a Text Box, a Drop Down Menu, a date picker, and has one Data Connection based on the dropdown menu. Still no luck.

Did you ever figure this out?  I am having the same issue.   However, if the users office 2007 was upgraded they do not get the issue, only on fresh installs of Office 2013.  I could really use some help.  I cannot find the component that 2007 leaves behind to keep it working.
