: This error message means that Delphi doesn't find the declaration of ShellExecute.
: ShellExecute is declared in the unit SHELLAPI. You have to add SHELLAPI to a "uses" clause in the unit where you use ShellExecute.
: E.g. if the "uses" clause near the top of the interface section of your unit reads:
: uses Windows, Messages, ..., Dialogs;
: then modify it as follows:
: uses Windows, Messages, ..., Dialogs, SHELLAPI;

Jenny,

In order to avoid such problems in the future: is there somewhere a list of built-in Delphi routines (functions and procedures) versus the units where they are declared? Would be very helpfull! :)
