That message tells you that you are using the exact same object twice or more in a WHERE/JOIN clause and you MUST use an alias name on each instance IF you really need to use that same object multiple times in the WHERE/JOIN's as shown here for example: https://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/1588361/FROM-clause-have-the-same-exposed-names-Reportbuilder

Just for kicks and giggles please post the T-SQL that executed that generated this error.  Then click on the error message and watch the cursor jump to the offending line, and then tell us what line that is.
