  the error message indicates that that the project did not contain the internal dbengine components.
  I am not sure how you are working., but don't use the old save to fr3 from fr2.5x in your fr3 project
  add the frx2to30.pas unit to your uses clause, this will allow fr3 to open an fr2.xx file and save it in fr3.
  make sure your fr3 project contains all the fr3 components that are equivalent to fr2 components that were used in your fr2 project. when finished remove the conversion unit.
  you may want to set the designer file open dir and file save dir props to suit your needs.

  the conversion unit is found in either the source or lib folder under your c:\program files\fastreports\fastreport 3 folder, or the folder under which you installed fr3 you must have at least the standard version of fr3.
  also see my response to the same topic in the fr4 forum, the same things apply to fr3.
