Maybe somewhere in the units visible to TForm1 you have a procedure of your own which you have named ExtractFileName, which is clashing with the FPC function.

Hi!

Place your cursor exact on

 

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. ExtractFileName(

The type ALT  + CursorUp

The IDE should now show you the procedure which the compiler does not like.

It should be noted that this key combination does not work when the "classic" keyboard scheme is selected (like I did). What always seems to work is to press CTRL while clicking on an identifier.
