After the OpenDocumentFile() call, you have a pointer tot he document, can't you just call a function on it and pass it the array as a parameter? You may have to cast the pDocument pointer to the correct type to do it. Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid?

Sounds like you need to make use of the undocumented MFC class CDocManager. When you call AddDocTemplate() in InitInstance(), the template pointer is handed off to the m_pDocManager object, which is part of your CWinApp object. You can use this to iterate the CDocTemplates registered in your application and call OpenDocumentFile(NULL) on your CMultiDocTemplate object. This should create an empty document of the required type. See MFC files DOCMULTI.CPP line 114 and DOCSINGL.CPP line 88 for the functions in question.
