SUMMARY

If a Microsoft Exchange Electronic Forms Designer (EFD) response form contains a frame field with multiple option buttons, these option buttons may be skipped in the tab order.

This only happens when the form is used as a response form and only when an option button is not set as ON by default. If a new message based on the same form is composed, it works as expected.

MORE INFORMATION

The only workaround is to set an option button to ON by default. This can be done by selecting one of the option buttons, and choosing Field Properties from the View menu. Then choosing SELECTED in the Initial Value dialog.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange, versions 4.0 and 5.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
