modifying previous form

[prog]

Hi,

I'm trying to modify an already created form. I go into the form design and
remove an old field and its label, and insert an new bound textbox. When I
send the form out, the old information remains, eventhough I deleted the old
data. Is there something I'm forgetting to modify to remove the old info?

You probably have an older copy of the form stored in the cache. Try
clearing it and restarting Outlook. See also:

The old information remains where? Forms don't hold data. They are your UI/code templates. It is the individual items that hold the data.

Did you change the read layout to match your changes to the compose layout?

Where do I see the read / compose layouts?

In form design mode, if your form had dual layouts, you should see an Edit Read Page button.

I have cleared form cache and modified the read and compose layouts but the
old field continues to show up.

The old field shows up where? Does the Help | About This Form dialog show that the item is using the latest version of the form?
