You *really* should post a minimal working example. The following should help you:

I don't get that error with this code. Look closer to the error message, it should tell a line number. Post that part of code here. And, as mas said, a minimal example would be great. Click on the link in his post, to learn why and how, this is useful and mostly a guarantee for a solution.

Sometimes just a \\ at the wrong place causes this error. \\ is often used for a paragraph break by mistake, or for making space, also by mistake. It's for ending a line without paragraph break, like in tabular. Normal text rarely need \\.
