How to clear item data from a published form.

I seem to have inadvertantly 'saved' my custom form during development and
now the copy in our organisational forms directory has some item data
associated.

Specifically the urn:schemas:mailheader:message-id field is filled in so
that all posts in the folder have the same message-id which I was using as
the primary key when accessing the item as an RFC-822 object.

How do I copy the form definition without the data into a new form to
publish it or clear the 'sent' attributes and data in the exisiting form?

Still relatively new at this so looking for pointers.

You create a new item using the form, proceed to delete all that you do not
want, then go into Design mode and publish the form. It is a "best
Practices" to include the version number in the name, in order to avoid
cache problems.

You delete old forms using the forms manager, which you access from the
properties panel of any folder.

You change items of old forms to items of new form using a utility found in
the Office resource kit, or found in at least one non-MS site out on the
internet.
