There is a bug in the code.

Use the best guess

Hi Anu, we will not be able to help you much if you do not post some relevant code, perhaps your constructor and the context from which it is called.

For awesome websites or just to chat check out my blog for more info. . .

Normally, the CMainFrame object is constructed in the InitInstance method using the call -

pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate(
IDR_MAINFRAME,
RUNTIME_CLASS(CSDIDoc),
RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame), // main SDI frame window
RUNTIME_CLASS(CSDIView));

Do you see this call in InitInstance? If you don't see this, it means that the construction is being done elsewhere; your app class constructor perhaps. If you do see the above code and you still have the behavior you mentioned, it could mean that some other CMainFrame instance is being constructed. Whatever the case, it is not the correct way to do it.

Does, by chance, your InitInstance method return FALSE?

That would stop execution in its tracks...
