Q146267: XCLN: Selecting Sort for Case Sensitivity Inconsistent

Article: Q146267
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): 4.0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Electronic Forms Designer, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

In the Electronic Forms Designer 4.0 for Microsoft Exchange, inconsistant
behavior can be displayed when similar words with different cases are used.

For example, if the words

  APPLE
  Apple
  apple
  APPLE

are added to the listbox in the Initial Value page for the listbox properties,
selecting Sort might produce the following:

  apple
  APPLE
  Apple
  APPLE

However, selecting Sort again might produce

  Apple
  APPLE
  APPLE
  apple

and so on with each subsequent Sort.

Typically, Microsoft Visual Basic List and Combo boxes ignore case sensitivity
when the sorted property is used.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with version 4.0 of Microsoft
Exchange Forms Designer. We are researching the problem and will post new
information here in the Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
