Adding Keyword Causes SQL Server Management Exception

Sometimes if you add a new keyword to the Keywords list on the Code Formatting tab of the SQL Assistant – Options dialog and press the OK button, “Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio” will crash with the error listed below. This does not always happen, but it does happen occasionally.

I am currently using SQL Assistant 2.5.12 on Windows XP SP2.
I am editing my SQL code with "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio" (version details listed below):
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.3042.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.832
Operating System 5.1.2600

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Thanks for the detailed error description. We will look into this.

For now, to avoid loosing any changes or scripts, please exit SSMS before updating SQL Assistant Options, and then restart SSMS after closing the Options dialog

Here is a status update. This issue is going to be resolved in build 2.5.16. We are testing this build in QA and if everything is ok, it will be released next week. You can also try the preview version. The download instructions for preview version are available here http://www.softtreetech.com/support/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=18893 see my last response in that message thread.
