frxDbDataset - Edit Field Aliases command causes Access Violation error

steve faleiro

Using: FastReports 6 VCL Professional, Delphi 10.2.3 Tokyo

I have a TfrxDbDataset on a data module, and its linked to a dataset. When I right-click on the frxDBDataset component and select 'Edit Field Aliases', there is causes Access Violation error.

This is happening both with release version (ver 6.8) and the latest update (ver 6.8.6).

The exact error message is:

 Access violation at address 1BE69FE9 in module 'frx25.bpl'. Read of address 00000140.

I have MadExcept installed and the first few lines of the stack trace is as follows:

thread $3438:

Could this be a bug? Or is something wrong with my installation (outdated files etc)? Can you help resolve it? Its urgent. TIA.

I've now resolved the error. It turns out there were older BPL files all over the system (in Windows\System32 and the regular RAD Studio BPL folder location). After deleting these files and re-installing FastReports, it now works perfectly.
