That can't be answered without seeing some code and some (at least the first) complete error message.

Use the green 'Improve question' link to add this to your question:
- The first one to max. five complete error message (copy and pasted)
- The top of your cpp file (with all include directives)
- The Myheader.h file (truncated if too large, should contain the lines around those mentioned in the above error messages if they refer to this file)

You most likely have a missing control character in your header file. But without seeing your code, and at least the first few errors, it is impossible to guess where.

If you started with "MyHeader.h" it could be that is the problem. If you used any variables that are of custom types in that file then they will be undefined and that results in errors. Also, if you are using pre-compiled headers and do not include stdafx.h or what ever is your designated header file first that can also cause errors.

As Jochen and Richard stated, it is impossible to give a definitive answer without seeing the code.

the most common mistake is that the stdafx.h isnt the first included header. It is providing the MFC stuff.

If it doenst help provide some somplete lines of error messages.
