I need to be able to open a document from within a document
to grab some data from it.  I don't want the opened document's
views to be created, I just need to serialize the data, get
what I need, then close it.

What I have working calls OpenDocumentFile, I then get the data
and subsequently call OnCloseDocument.  This works fine except
that the view get created and destroyed so a window flash is
seen.

I tried serializing the document directly but that did not work.
Is there a (hopefully easy) way to get data from a serialized
file?

Thanks,

Joe Clark

Can you use CFile or CStdioFile instead of a CDocument derived object?
