If you had copied the code from some another file cross check the file it may contain

connection();

Then you need to copy it to this page.
Or you didn't have the original function then you may need to write one new.
I am just suggesting this because I had done this sort of things in the past.

That code doesn't include a method called connection, so the system rightly complains when you try to call it.
In fact, I don't see anything there that even vaguely resembles the word "connection" so we can't fix it for you. Find the class you declared the function in and look at the definition - that should tell you want you need to do to fix it.

The same thing applies to txtFilename - it doesn't exist in that code, so we can't help you find it. In fact, it doesn't appear in that code at all even as a reference, so it's probably a different file and class altogether that is reporting the problem ...
