    Infopath form in a Sharepoint workflow - task in email opens up old form

    I have an infopath form that is part of a workflow.  When a user is assigned a task, if they go to their task list and click on the task, my form shows up, which is good. 

     

    When someone is assigned a task, they also get an email from Sharepoint.  For some reason, if you click on the "Edit this Task" button in outlook a form pops up that is an old version of my form.

     

    Basically I think an old version is cached, but only for outlook.

    How do I make the outlook link show the current version of the form?

    Thanks,  for the help.

     

    I do not believe that your advice applied though, although I did try the suggestion.  My for is not installed via a browser and does not open in infopath, it is a web based form the opens in outlook.  I went to add/remove programs and did not see it, I also opened infopath and did not see it either.  I also did a search for the file in my hard drive as well as cleared my temporary internet files.

     Basically a web based version opens in my outlook.  If I go to someone else's computer who has never opened the form before, they see the new form.

     

    I believe that either my form is being cached locally under a temporary name, or it is cached in some sort of exchange folder on the server which is local to my user account.

     

    Any other suggestions?

    Run "infopath /cache clearall" on the pc which has outlook installed on it.
