Memory error preparing a report

I'm a new user to Fastreport 4 but still encountering a strange problem:

I've created a designtime TfrxReport with a design containing expressions explicit references like [frxDBDataset."CompanyID"] in the memofields
The actual dataset, resulting from a sql query and stored in a kbMemTable, is added to the report at runtime by assigning the kbmTable to the frxDBDataset.dataset property.

When i try to run report.prepare, an error is reported by FastMM ( see details below).
It looks like TfsXMLItem is freeing memory that is allocated by TDatasaet.GetFieldData [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" /> What is going wrong here, and how can i correct it or work around it? The generation of the data and report is done in one subthread[/img]
  //
  // Generating data and storing in kbmData
  // ...

  frxDBDataset.Dataset := kbmData;
  frxDBDataset.Open;
  with aReport.EngineOptions do
  begin
    NewSilentMode := simReThrow;
    UseGlobalDataSetList := False;
  end;

  with aReport do
  begin
    EnabledDataSets.Add(frxDBDataset);
    PrepareReport(false)
  end;

    Solved it!
    Turned out to be a problem with the kbmMemTable which caused an AV when reading a TWidestring field
    Replaced it with a TdxMemData from DevExpress and all problems were gone

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
