Getting data from a lost form

Thank you Ken. My problem is that I lost the form when I formated my disk. I
only founded, in my backup, an .ofs (I don´t know the meaning or use of that
extension) file instead of an .oft file as you tell me. I have a complete
personal folders backup as a .pst file if that helps.

OFS is the file extension for Form Region storage (Outlook Form Storage).

If you have at least one instance of the form in existing items you could
use the Design This Form selection and then clear out all the data in all
the fields and republish.

If the form was previously published in a Personal Forms Library or folder
then recovering that PST file should retain the published form and you can
get it from that repository.
