Error C2084 - body already exist

[amayae]

I am getting this error when I try to compile. I am using
visual studio c++ 7.0

I have a my file.h with the following:
( non member functions)
Bag operator +(const Bag& b1, const Bag& b2);
Bag operator -(const Bag& b1, const Bag& b2);
and I have my cpp file with

Bag operator +(const Bag& b1, const Bag& b2)
// Library facilities used: assert.h
{
Bag answer;

assert(b1.size( ) + b2.size( ) <= Bag::CAPACITY);
answer += b1;
answer += b2;
return answer;
}

// subtract amount of bag2 from bag1
Bag operator -(const Bag& b1, const Bag& b2)
// Library facilities used: assert.h
{
Bag answer;

assert(b1.size( ) - b2.size( ) <= Bag::CAPACITY);
answer += b1;
answer -= b2;
return answer;
}

why does it think it alreay exist?

Can you produce a stand-alone piece of code that illustrates the error
you're getting.
