I've had this problem too when I load recource DLLs and a resource is
missing from the translated version. Sometimes this happens if the source
goes out for translation and the programmer adds resources to the main
program in the mean time. I've also had problems with some DLLs that call
AfxSetResourceHandle() so as to replace the app's resources with their own
(not intentionally of course).

Ah, you didn't say that you were creating a CFormView. Complete
information is always
useful...had you actually said what you were doing, the "missing resource"
is one of the
top candidates (failure to call AfxInitRichEdit[2] is another leader).

Unfortunately, MFC guarantees that if a failure occurs, the GetLastError
value is
destroyed and is not available, which is why the single-stepping is
usually required. I
reported this as one of the many long-standing MFC bugs that ought to be
fixed before new
features are added.
