getting MS SQL Server error: “There is already an object named '' in the database. ” when table is NOT in database

In my Visual Basic 2013 ASP.NET web application project running on Windows 7 Pro, I get this error every time I run it. If I drop my table before running it, my app creates table, but I get error. If table exists before running it, app tries to create table, ignores error and continues, but I get error.
The Page_Load function steps through as expected, without error, to the end. And then the error occurs.
