What is wrong with this simple Windows MFC code ?

[learningGuy]

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this simple code?
I get an exception every time at the myFile.Open() line.
I have included the code that I think is needed to for you to answer this
below:
Thanks!

Yes. You posted it in the wrong place. Here, we
only discuss ISO standard C++, which is a platform
independent language which has no such features as
'MFC'.

Thank you.
