The status of a workflow appears as "Failed to Start" when you try to start a workflow from a survey response in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Consider the following scenario. You create a survey, and then you add a workflow to the survey in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Then, you connect to the survey and respond to it. Finally, you view the response that you submitted, and then you try to start a workflow from the response. To do this, you click the arrow next to the response, click
Workflows, click the workflow that you added, type your user name in the
Reviewers box, and then click
Start. However, the workflow does not start. Instead, the status of the workflow appears as
Failed to Start.
This issue occurs because starting a workflow from a survey response is not supported in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Although the
Workflows option appears when you click the arrow next to a survey response, you cannot start a workflow from a survey response.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
- Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Online

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
