Custom form in Outlook 2000 using old definition when viewed

[Rahul Kuchhal]

I have created a custom form in Outlook 2000 and saved it as *.oft
file. It is a mail form. Now when I open this file and send a mail
using this form somehow the outlook picks up an old definition of this
form. I have tried many things including:
- Deleting the form cache in C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms
- Changing the version number associated with the form
- Selecting "send item definition" in form properties
- Moving the *.oft file to a different location
- Restarting outlook and even rebooting the machine

Now I am quite out of ideas and not sure what else can I do for it to
pick up the latest definition of the form.

Any suggestions will be very appreciated.

Thankyou.

When you use an .oft file to create an item, the only form definition the
item can use is what's in that file. The forms cache is irrelevant. Did you
change the compose page but not the read layout or vice versa?
