Render partial yields "dynamic constant assignment"

I'm getting a syntax error when rendering a partial. This is a simple
html partial with one instance variable inside it. Rendering as a
"template" instead of as a partial works just fine. The error occurs 3
lines after the last line of HTML code in the partial. There is no line
72! Here is the error:

SyntaxError in Building_blocks#preview
Showing building_blocks/_BB02.html.erb where line #72 raised:

compile error
C:/Ruby_Development/sbtool/app/views/building_blocks/_BB02.html.erb:-2:
dynamic constant assignment
BB02 = local_assigns[:BB02]
      ^
C:/Ruby_Development/sbtool/app/views/building_blocks/_BB02.html.erb:-1:

Don't start your partial names with a capital letter. rails creates a local variable for the object corresponding to the partial and local variables can't start with a capital letter
