Selecting Analytical Accounting as the Accounting System in Microsoft FRx

I ran into an error with FRx for Microsoft Dynamics GP with Analytical Accounting. When I went to the company information window and tried to change the dropdown for “accounting system” to “Analytical Accounting” it would basically fade to blank. Quite annoying.

The problem: In the folder, C:\Program Files\FRx Software\FRx 6.7 , the file FSAA80.dll is missing! Apparently this is the primary library for Analytical Accounting and, somehow, my installer failed to put it where it belongs… It happened on all three machines I was testing (windows 7, server 2008 and server 2008) but not on an XP machine. This wreaks of security issue!

The solution: Find a machine with FSAA80.dll and drop it into the C:\Program Files\FRx Software\FRx 6.7 folder. Next, right click the dll and choose “Open with…”. Browse for a program and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Regsvr32 and open the dll with it. It will say that registration of the dll has succeeded. When you restart FRx you should be able to choose Analytical Accounting and be on your way.

Saw a demo of Management Reporter (the replacement for FRx) and am very excited for its release. It’ll be nice to be rid of the SYSDATA folders and to get everything into SQL Server.

    Hi

    The above fix works great and solved my issue. Note, if Windows 7, you may not be able to register the FSAA80.dll in this way.

    I had use the following steps:

    1. Run cmd as Administrator
    2. Change the pathname in cmd to the Program Files folder that contained the .dll
    3. Use this command to register:
    regsvr32 FSAA80.dll

    Cheers
