Steve is correct when he says that documents are an integral part of the MFC framework. Does your application have any data? If so you can probably use the Doc/View architecture effectively. Documents are just data stores. Views just display the data in a certain format. Probably the easiest thing is to do as Steve suggested and remove the FWS_ADDTOTITLE flag in your PreCreateWindow for your CMainFrame object. That will keep the title from changing which should be the only outward indication of a document's presence. I highly recommend you use the document in conjunction with the view. Although possible, creating a view is not really the supported approach. Hope his helps! Jay Potter Microsoft Developer Support
