Probably you already know everything in the checklist below, but sometimes we overlook something obvious ;-)
You should check that:

** MyBook is an array of records, and the type declaration of this record type contains:
TheReg: string;
Mileage: integer;
Fuel: real;
** MyBook and Count are visible in the entire unit. Where are these variables declared?
** Count never becomes greater then the highest index that is allowed for MyBook. For example, if MyBook is declared as
MyBook: array[1..100] of TMyBook;
then make sure that Count never becomes greater than 100.

This are the most obvious things to check. If this doesn't solve the problem, give us some more details please.
