XCLN: Selecting Sort for Case Sensitivity Inconsistent

Last reviewed: April 3, 1997
Article ID: Q146267

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange 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.
