SYMPTOMS
If you use Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer to create a form, messages created using that form may not sort properly in the Microsoft Exchange client. If the form contains a date field and you attempt to sort the messages by date, the messages may not be sorted properly.



CAUSE
When you create a form that contains a date field, and then use that form to create a message, the information in the date field is converted to text before the message appears in the Microsoft Exchange client. Because the field contains text data instead of dates, you may be unable to successfully sort the messages by date.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, configure the date field so that the year appears before the month and day (YY/MM/DD). When the date field is configured in this manner, the messages are sorted properly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Forms Designer that is included with the Microsoft Exchange clients listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
