Need a debug expert.

Hi All,
I am working in vc++ 6. I am getting an assert error in my program in debug mode as follows:

_AFXWIN_INLINE HINSTANCE AFXAPI AfxGetResourceHandle()
{ ASSERT(afxCurrentResourceHandle != NULL);
return afxCurrentResourceHandle; }

I know this is a bool value returning true when it should be false but I have been over and over my code and I just can't find the problem. I have checked all the resources and find no problems. Can enyone point me in the right direction to solving this problem?

Thanks,
Arnold.

Hi Axter,
I have no idea what part of my program is causing the problem. It's a resource problem but I can't figure out what resource is causing it. The program works fine in release mode but not in debug mode. The debugger points me to this code:

_AFXWIN_INLINE HINSTANCE AFXAPI AfxGetResourceHandle()
{ ASSERT(afxCurrentResourceHandle != NULL);
return afxCurrentResourceHandle; }
I am working in mfc. A resource is returning a true value when it should be returning a false value. I was hopeing someone here would have some idea of where to look for the problem.

Axter, I found it. something very simple.

I declared 2 variables in the wrong order:

HINSTANCE m_hInstance;
CString m_sCrpFile;

Because m_hInstance was before m_sCrpFile it caused an assert error on m_hInstance. After I stepped through the code a few more times I spotted it. Never had that happen before. Changed to:

CString m_sCrpFile;
HINSTANCE m_hInstance;

The assert error was gone.

Thank you for the help anyway,
Arnold.
