Look for those duplicate files and delete them: could be classes, images, frameworks. Here's a good article about your issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2264455/iphone-duplicate-symbol-error Hope this helps.

Alex I'm using version 2. Never seen this error before. Need to look at it again tonight. Probably something simple but after a day of compTIA training my brain is frazzled.

theMonster Code is Art Posts: 435 Reg: Oct 18, 2011 US 8,050	12/18/12 12:49 AM (13 years ago) Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe you also get this error when your files are imported twice or a file of a file imports a file, that is already imported.
