How to fix: "List does not Exist" error

Stepping into the SharePoint world, I pretty early understood few of the famous SharePoint errors and one of them is this.

"List Does not Exist.
The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."

There are plenty of solution offerings when you search this issue online, but one that worked for me was that the user did not have access to the form template library at http://<url>/FormServerTemplates

"Go to the above URL > Settings > Library Settings > Permission to this Library" and provide permission to your user.

It all works!

PS: The error message might sometimes be deceiving, don't be deceived. Mostly, it has nothing to do with a deleted list. It was just an access issue. Stay focused! :)
