I'm trying to assign the number of records to the rowCount of a
stringgrid control. See the following code fragment:

var
stock : stockitem;
rowNum : integer;
{inventory is defined as a file of stockitem in another unit}

begin
assignfile(inventory,'Ops');
reset(inventory);
stgInvOps.RowCount:= filesize(inventory);

When I compile the program, I get:

dashboard.pas(115,42) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got "File
Of StockItem", expected "AnsiString" with 'inventory' highlighted
on the line "stgInvOps.RowCount:= filesize(inventory);"

What am I doing wrong?

It's using the wrong function, try System.FileSize?
