Changing Menu's per View using MultiDocTemplate

Earlier this week I posted a question regarding redrawing of
DialogBars.  Recalclayout() did that trick.  My next problem
I've been battling with is that I would like to change the Menu
associated with a view and have it track properly.  In my
application I have:

Multiple's of these

CMultiDocTemplate* pPatListDocTemplate =
new CMultiDocTemplate(CLicense().ImageReview()?
IDR_PATIENTLIST_VIEW_MENU:IDR_UPR_PATIENTLIST_VIEW_MENU,
                RUNTIME_CLASS(CPatientInfoDoc),
                RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildWnd),
                RUNTIME_CLASS(CPatientListView));
        AddDocTemplate(pPatListDocTemplate);

In my MainFrm.cpp I woule like to:

void CMainFrame::OnOptionsPreferences()
{
        // TODO: Add your command handler code here
        CPreferencesSheet().DoModal();

        CFrameWnd *p;
        // Use the Global thePatListView which is a
        //CPatientListView object;
 
        p = thePatientListView->GetParentFrame();

        CMenu *m = p->GetMenu();
        m->DestroyMenu();

        CMenu newMenu;
      newMenu.LoadMenu(CLicense().ImageReview()?
      IDR_PATIENTLIST_VIEW_MENU:IDR_UPR_PATIENTLIST_VIEW_MENU);
        
       p->SetMenu(&n);
}

The Problem is that the SetMenu() call fails GetLastError() is
1436 which is Child Windows Cannot Have Menu's.  Obviously I am
doing something wrong.  Can anyone help?  Can this even be done?
I looked at the MFC code and it almost looks like it cannot.

Thanks.

    Yep, a  CMDIChildWnd cannot  have a  menu. The  menu belongs  to the
CMDIFrameWnd, the  top-level window.  Use MDISet/GetMenu to  set/get the
menu.

-----From: "John Bundgaard" 

The menuchange is done by MFC automaticly, all you have to do 
is create menu resources with the id's IDR_PATIENTLIST_VIEW_MENU 
and IDR_UPR_PATIENTLIST_VIEW_MENU.
