You have older Indy DCUs still installed on your computer.

You are seeing a compile-time error, not a run-time error.

In any case, the ConnectTimeout property appears in the Object Inspector
because it is pulling the properties out of the component's RTTI directly,
so it is always up-to-date. The compiler, on the other hand, is obviously
finding older files to link to, not the newer files, and the property does
not exist in the older files so it can't compile the code correctly.

All the more reason that you have old DCUs on the machine.
Connect(ATimeout) no longer exists. It was removed when the ConnectTimeout
property was introduced.
