I am trying to use this function for looking up mime types:

The resource file it comes with has hundreds of strings in it, but I have stripped it down to just one:

STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
101, ".3dm x-world/x-3dmf"
END

The project will not compile with this error:

[Pascal Error] E2161 Duplicate string: ID 101; File ...\mimetypes.res string kept: ".3dm x-world/x-3dmf"; file ...\mimetypes.res resource discarded: ".3dm x-world/x-3dmf".

Any idea whats wrong?

Delete all res files in your project and do a complete rebuild (Shift-F9). You need to have the matching rc files included in your project, so they also get rebuild. The <Projectname>.res doesn't have a rc file, it will be built by the compiler.

I've tried all that.

Worked around it by using a Tstringlist and a text file rather than a string table.

Still rather strange and annoying.
