confusing error.... plz help

Hey everybody,

I am getting a weird error that i cant understand how to get working again. I have made a custom vector class for myself that works perfectly in every program so far; but when i try and compile ANY program that uses Vector with Visual Studio, and visual studio ONLY... it comes out with this error:

error C2063: '=' : not a function ......... as well as
error C2040: '=' : 'class Vector<TYPE> &(const class Vector<TYPE> &)' differs in levels of indirection from 'int' ... also
fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

And that only happen in VS and the program compiles and executes fine in any other compiler.. it just screws up in VS.
Could someone please help me and tell me whats going on and what i could do to fix it?

a code snippet would be helpful!

THe "offending" line that are causing the errors... it only does this in the VS compiler though...

Vector<TYPE> & Vector<TYPE>::operator =(const Vector<TYPE> & rhs);

Vector<TYPE> & Vector<TYPE>::operator =(const Vector<TYPE> & rhs);

is a prototype... not a function body... if that's outside your class then you need to declare a function body.. if it's inside, you dont need to specify the scope.

if this doesn't help.. zip up the source file, and examples of where this is used in the code (not just the definition of the function) and post again... i dont have enough info to help you (others might, but i need more ;)).
