I just had the same problem. At my end the problem was caused by and ' & ' symbol in the mapname containing my solution. Removing the ' & ' solved it.

I hope this was helpfull

TDDragon ... THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sent a crystal report in the morning and added it to my solution, been using my solution all day. Suddenly I recv'd a parsing error very much like the one you replied to.

The report name had a '&' in the name, now again. It had been in my project for 4 hours. Anyhow, changing the & to "and" .. and rebulding ... viola ... no more parse error on my form (that is listed above the report in my solution)

I would have -never- figured that one out, wow.....
