It's pretty clear here that line 19 refers to a document class, but you did
not #include the document.h file. So the compiler does not recognize the
document class name at this point.

So, what's in file TestView.h on line 19?

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Line 19 contains:

CTestDoc* GetDocument() const;

which was created when the project was created.

Ah, thanks a lot Scott; adding the TestDoc.h file fixed most of my
problems. The only thing I am wondering now is when I try to declare
the CMyTest class pointer in the TestView.h file, I get errors about
redifinition of the CTestView which actually does make sense as I
included TestView.h in MyTest.h so I had to declare the pointer in the
TestView.cpp file. I would like to declare it in the header file though
or I would have to declare it as global in TestView.cpp so I don't have
to keep creating it every time I need to use it. Is there a way for me
to declare it in the TestView.h file without getting redefinition errors?

Thanks for the help Igor. My problem is mostly resolved now. If you
are interested look at my response to Scott's suggestion.
