Jan, Thanks for your help. I was able to open and save files according to their document type. I am however, still having problems with accessing data in my second view. In my second view class CEx2View OnDraw function I am trying to access data from the associated document class. I assume that the AddDocTemplate makes the association between the view and the document so in the OnDraw function the line CDocument* pDoc=GetDocument(); returns a pointer to the associated document. From this point on I would think I could access any public data in the 2nd document class by using statements such as pDoc->icounter=5; where icounter is defined in the 2nd document class. I've also included the documents header file in CEx2View.cpp. For some reason the compiler can't associate the pDoc call to the correct document. I still get the 'icounter' is not a member of CDocument error message. I would appreciate any additional insight into this problem. Thanks
