I have no idea what it's trying to tell me and even less idea how to fix
this. Any suggestions? Double clicking on the error takes me nowhere, so I
take it it's a build error, but where to look?

It would appear that when you copy and paste a form, then rename the copy,
that VS 2005 inappropriately alters code in <first form name>.cs and <first
form name>Designer.cs.
I'd not seen this behavior, as I don't copy forms, but I'll bet it has
already been reposted as a bug (Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm
sure :) ).
To fix it, edit the files cited above, which incorrectly use the name of
your new, renamed form, to use the original form name. Your project should
then compile.
