Modified form showing up as old form.

I have created a new form by modifying an existing one in our library, and
every time I fill it out and send it, it shows up as the old form.

How can I save the form with the new layout and get it to show up that way
every time?

I should add that I do not have programming experience so a bypass of coding
is ideal.

Thank you!!!
 
is it published to the organization forms library? did you increment the
version number so the forms cache on all computers refreshes it?

They may need to clear the forms cache - see
http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/formscache.htm if you need help doing
that.

The original form was published in the Organization forms library. Then i
modified that one and saved my new one in Personal forms library.

What do you mean by "increment"?

I followed your suggestion about the cache. This was very easy to do.

Now, when I try and fill out the form, it says "last name is a required
field" and I do not have a field called last name. A glance at the code for
this form shows all the old code, including a clause that if some field
called "last name" is not filled out, that a popup should prevent me from
sending the form.

Please help!!! Thank you for your helpful advice so far

You edited the form in the personal library, the recipients use the one in
the org library because they don't have access to the new form. You need to
publish your form in the org library. The last tab in form design has a
version field - that should be incremented up each time you publish so
outlook knows to use the last one.

you'll need to remove the last name code or comment it out.
