Did you perhaps mean to use double quotes instead of angle brackets @ line 1?

Also, using namespaces in headers = bad form, that.

Try using double quotes around header.h instead of <>

ah thanks
yeah i know using namespace in headers is not a good idea, but it was just a test, me playing around tring to learn bits and parts of c++

another question about headrs...
Does the header file have to be "saved" as the name that you include into the main program, or can the "saved" name be anything?

Yes @ the header file needs to be saved as the name that's included in the C++ file. Else, the compiler won't know what you're referring to.
