Designer crashes when I save changes
When I try to save changes in Fast Reports Designer, I get this message:
Access violation at address 55E8DD7C in module 'frx28.bpl'. Read of address 00000004.
For example, I just tried to change my page numbering by changing 'Page' to 'Page#'. I cannot, because of the crash.
I have the source code. I can try to rebuild it if I know what to rebuild.

Try to completely uninstall FR and install latest build of FR VCL
I did a repair, but that did not fix the problem. The text for the repair option states:
Repair installation errors. This option corrects any missing or corrupt files, shortcuts, or registry entries.
If frx28.bpl was corrupt, repair should have fixed the problem. I am hesitant to remove & reinstall unless absolutely necessary.
The crash only happens when I try to save changes to the memo field of a TfrxMemoView.
I am working with .fr3 files that were converted from Quick Report using the Fast Reports converter.
I can edit the .fr3 files with Notepad to make the changes as a workaround.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Fast Reports and the crash disappeared, but when I ran RAD Studio 11, I encountered several popup error messages because it was trying to load Fast Reports code from the 2024.2.4 folder and I had just installed 2024.2.6. I ran the Fast Reports repair option several times, changed the path in the environment variables from Windows and from RAD Studio, but I still got the error messages. I finally had to make a copy of the 2024.2.6 folder and name it 2024.2.4. That fixed the problem.
