Warning: unable to get moniker from client site

Environment: NT 4.0 / VC++4.0

I am having following TRACE message everytime I select
an OLE object in my view:

"Warning: unable to get moniker from client site"

It is coming from function
"BOOL COleClientItem::GetLinkSourceData(LPSTGMEDIUMlpStgMedium)"
in MFC/src/olecli1.cpp file.

Do you have any idea what this message means and what
should I do to get rid of it?

There is no comments on source file neither on online-help
about this mysterious message.

I am having following TRACE message everytime I select
an OLE object in my view:

"Warning: unable to get moniker from client site"

When you select the OLE object, the container starts a drap-and-drop operation. This 
involves (among else) getting the object's "link source data", using GetLinkSourceData.
The link source data is simply a File!Item moniker representing the object. To get the File part,
the OLE object asks its client site for the File moniker. This ends up in a call to 
COleDocument::GetMoniker, which returns NULL if the documents has not been given a name, 
i.e.it's unsaved.

So, to get rid of the message: save the document.
