duplicate name component already exist errors.

[georgelappies]

Hi all

I want to change properties of an editbox or caption of a labelbox with this code:

Code: [Select]

procedure TfrmWalkthru.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
  edtUserID.Text:= USERID_SAS;
end;
But it keeps giving me an error saying that the name is a duplicate...

Please any help will be much appreciated.

I see nothing bad with the code you sent. If you duplicate identifier then you have to check your declarations.
Possible reason: Pascal is NOT case sensitive, so 'edtUserID: TEdit' make conflict with 'EDTUserID: TEdit'.

Found the error, I left a

Code: [Select]

frmWalkthru.Create(frmLogin); statement before making the form visible as well as setting the form to be auto created
