I am working thru the TDbf tutorial at
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Lazarus_Tdbf_Tutorial and
am down to the code for creating fields in a new table:

With MyDbf.FieldDefs do begin
  Add('Id', ftAutoInc, 0, True);
  Add('Name', ftString, 80, True);
End;

However, the compiler gives the following error messages:

unit1.pas(42,24) Error: Identifier not found "ftAutoInc"
unit1.pas(43,25) Error: Identifier not found "ftString"

What gives? What do I do now?

Try to Find in Files each expression to know where it is declared.
