This article was previously published under Q186390





SYMPTOMS
If you are using a 4D Macintosh database for tracking data, and you receive strings of alphanumeric characters in a message body in Exchange and then copy this information from the message and paste it into the 4D Macintosh database, you may have trouble querying on the information pasted into the database.

This procedure works fine with the Exchange Macintosh client version 4.0 Service Pack 2, but fails with all clients thereafter, including the Microsoft Outlook Macintosh client.



CAUSE
The Exchange client erroneously adds characters to the end of the string.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange Macintosh client, version 5.0.

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
