Well I do see some suspicious things in the code:

Do you have a custom version of operator new? In CodeWarrior (though you
don't say which toolset you are using) the default operator new has some
exception logic which (I believe) requires global variables. That wouldn't
work right in a no-globals launch code such as Find.

Virtual functions don't work without globals either, so
CApptDBConnection::GetDmOpenRef needs to be non virtual.

Why the memory allocation? Why not just use one line:
done = FindDrawHeader( findParams, "EagleSoft - Schedule" );
