"Undeclared identifier: 'VarArrayCreate'"

I am trying to recompile an existing project, but I keep getting the error:
"[Error] ParseCode.pas(112): Undeclared identifier: 'VarArrayCreate'"
Here is the snippet of code:

procedure TDistrictParse.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var ExcelApp, ExcelWK, NewExcelWK: variant;
SheetI, SheetExtent : integer;
DMList, UserList : variant;
BufStr, BufStr2 : string;
Listi : integer;
ExistID : integer;
ZipStr : string;
ZipFile : textfile;
begin
excelapp:=createoleobject('Excel.Application');
excelapp.displayalerts:=false;
excelwk:=excelapp.workbooks.open(dmmap);
bufstr:=excelwk.sheets['useridmap'].cells[2,1].value;
sheetextent:=2;
while bufstr<>'' do
begin
bufstr:=excelwk.sheets['useridmap'].cells[sheetextent, 1].value;
inc(sheetextent);
end;
dec(sheetextent, 2);
DMList := VarArrayCreate([1, sheetextent], varVariant); <-- error here
UserList:=vararraycreate([1, sheetextent], varVariant); <-- error here
for listi:=1 to sheetextent do

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Re:"Undeclared identifier: 'VarArrayCreate'"

Probably the location of VarArrayCreate changed
from one version to the next.

Put the cursor on the word "VarArrayCreate". Hit F1.
Somewhere on the help page (in the upper left corner
in D3) it says what unit the function lives in. Add
that unit to your uses clause.

Is it possible I'm missing something in my "uses" statement? I have:
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
ComObj, ComCtrls, StdCtrls;

Is this correct?

Try to add System. According to help VarArrayCreate funtion in my Delphi5
lives there.

If it's in System then it doesn't need to be added - System is
included automatically. It could be in some other unit in some
other version of Delphi, which is why the thing to do is to
check the docs and see what unit it actually is in.
