You're fighting the framework.
The main nib of the application specifies once-per-application things
like the main menu. That's the _definition_ of the main nib. If you
have an application whose main nib contains no menu, you have an
application with no menu. To wish otherwise is like wishing you could
mount your headlights under the back seat.
A document nib specifies once-per-document things. The document
architecture is built on this assumption. Zero documents is a legal
state (indeed is the initial state, however briefly) of a Cocoa
application. An application that can't run without seeing a document
nib must have a _very_ unusual circumstance.
Maybe you could back up and explain your unusual circumstances?

I have 2 nib files, MainMenu.nib (with my main menu in) and
Document.nib (with my document window in). My Document.nib's Files
Owner is a NSDocument subclass. Basically, for some code to work I
need to make Document.nib the Main Nib File (can be set in target ->
properties in Xcode). But of course, doing this will show no menu. I
don't want to put the menu in Document.nib but rather keep it in
MainMenu.nib.
I would like to stress that the Main Nib File has to be Document.nib
for the application to work.
So my question is, how do I load the MainMenu.nib and load the Menu,
yet still keep Document.nib as the Main Nib File?
