what steps did you take? if you could, step by step as to what you did. only because since this issue was solved by some people upgrading InfoPath and my issue resolved by this, I'd like to know what you did to try and resolve pre-hand.

Thanks,

This didn't work for me. I couldn't even open the corrected form to submit; it keeps looking for the published "old" template.

This may be the case in some instances, however, I'm using InfoPath 2010 and was getting the same error off a form that was submitted to the library no more than 15 days ago from an existing form templates that's been on our 2010 environment for months.

Strange. I thought that error message meant that the user had InfoPath 2007 (12.0.0.0) but trying to open an InfoPath 2010 form (14.0.0.0).

So I came across this issue the other day. I had been thrown into updating an existing infopath form with a bunch of custom settings. after making some changes to the form, I published it on our SP 2010 environment and everything worked fine. A few days later I was contacted by a user who had submitted this form a few days prior. Giving the user the 'Form template was created with a newer version of InfoPath' then gives the option to say OK and open in a previous version. OK, OK, Nothing. I looked and looked at it. I had made some additions/subtractions to a few lists the form was pulling from but after looking at the XML, nothing was pulling from any of the lists I made changes to. So after hours of researching online, I still came up with nothing.

For anyone familiar with SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath forms, you already know that publishing works a bit different. Deactivate the solution from the parent site, publish the form as an Admin form, then upload the form into Central Admin InfoPath forms services. So we see that the version is correct.1.0.0.56, 57, 58 and so on.

So again, I had no look with anything online.

FINALLY I FOUND a solution.

1) download a working form from the forms library you are working in and look at the version by opening it as a text copy/or through SP Designer (e.g. - 1.0.0.56)

2) download a copy of the form you are having issues with to your local machine

3) open the form in a txt document and look for the version. (in my case the version was something like 1.0.0.859)

4) Next change the version of the 'troubled copy' to the version of the working copy and save it but save it as the same name it was when you downloaded it.

5) find the location you saved the edited copy and open it. once open, click submit and it will re-submit it to the library. (if you have workflows behind it, it should not affect it, or at least in my case with this form it didn't)

and that is how to fix the
