Access violation when selecting fill color
I am running Delphi 2005 with RB 9.01 on a Windows 2000 system. I was going
through the first tutorial named 'Creating a Report Via the Data Tree' and
got to step number 8 on page 233. As soon as I selected the light gray
color I got the following Error dialog:
Access violation at address 40005C4B in module 'rtl90.bpl'.
Read of address 89B8E987.
After selecting OK from the Error dialog it did fill in the last column
label with the light gray background but none of the other column labels.
The components were selected using the bounding box selection method as
instructed in the tutorial. I can then select the remaining column label
components and select the fill color with light gray option but each time I
get the error message above and the last component selected does get filled
in with gray. I had to continue doing this until I had all of the column
labels now had the light gray background color. If I tried selecting the
component by clicking on it the fill color pallet was disabled and did not
show any colors. I could only select using the bounding box method.

This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder 9.01. I went ahead and did the
tutorial you were trying and was unable to recreate the AV you mention. Are
you able to see the error simply by placing a shape on an empty report and
filling it with a certain color? Are you able to see this behavior at
Delphi design time and runtime?

I don't see the AV error when I place a shape on an empty report and fill it
with a color. I do get an AV error if I drop a single system variable and
and then change it from the default Date format to any other format like
DateTime from the dropdown menu. It's always the same addresses and module
in the AV error message as stated in my original posting.

We have had a couple other reports of this error, but I am unable to
recreate it on my machine. Please give me the exact steps you take to
recreate the AV on your machine including you environment setup, whether you
are experiencing this at design time or runtime, and regional settings.
