The problem is that Caption is not a string, it is a property that has the string type. So you cannot use it as a var parameter. There are several things you can do. For example, copy the caption to a string variable, pass it to the routine, then copy the string back to the caption. You may save a step if the parameter is a value parameter: pass the caption as a value parameter, then copy the new value back to the caption.
