Compiler problem in VB 2005 1

[iemproductions]

Hello,
I recently installed Visual Studio Pro 2005. I created a project in VB so that I can create some Crystal Reports.

If have Windows XP SP2 installed. I have VS Pro 2003 installed, only because I've tried several times to uninstall it and can't. I also have Crystal Reports XI installed, but am not using it for this project.

When I create a report using the wizard in Crystal for Visual Studio, I get the following error message on a dialog box:

Visual Basic Compiler has encountered a problem and needs to close. No information has been lost. Check the compiler output for possible ways to avoid this error.

The dialog box has a debug and close button.

I have to click either of them twice before the dialog box goes away. The debugger never opens, as I thought it would.

Where is the compiler output file or the name of it.

I have not changed any of the options in the software after I installed it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Check your references. I had something weird happen last night where VS decided to add a reference to the project that i was working with, creating a pseudo circular reference.

I don't know anything about Visual Studio or Visual Basic. I only know the full versions of Crystal. Can you tell me where these references are? Thank you.

Oki...

You have a solution, or a project that shows up in the Solution explorer, which you can "show"/"hide" by pressing CTRL+R. From here select the show all files button on the top of the solution explorer. Your should see a line directly under your project name now for "References" double click on this and it will open a page that shows you all your references. if you see your project in there, delete that row, save, and try to recompile.

Qik3Coder,
You are wonderful. That dialog box popping up all the time was driving me nuts! (smile). I'm going to try and stay out of trouble. Thank you so much.
