Hi,
I am getting a compile error in Lazarus 1.0.12 FPC 2.6.2 running on Windows XP:

Error: Wrong number of parameters specified for call to "CopyFile"

When I am using the syntax
CopyFile(SourceFile,DestFile);

Both SourceFile and DestFile are strings.

Any ideas, as as far as I can see, at least one of the "CopyFile"s only requires the 2 parameters?

Thanks in advance

Richard

Propably you have included the windows unit
which defines a CopyFile routine with 3 parameters: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363851%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

So either you remove the windows unit or, if not possible, you need to fully qualify from which unit you want to call CopyFile (I don't know where it's defined). -------------- next part --------------

in FileUtil.
Note that, differently than the windows CopyFile function (which returns an error code), FileUtil.CopyFile will throw an exception in case of error.

Bye

Just put Windows last in the uses clause.

Spot on. Can't believe I missed that.

Thanks
