Just to be clear, "binding" is a specific technology that has nothing to do with outlet setting. Better to use proper terminology or suggestions may not be correct. Anyway, in your original post, you say: > When the button is pressed it turns out that filterExpression (and > therefor also the stringValue of it) is nil. Are you certain that filterExpression is nil? Just because it's string value is nil, doesn't mean the outlet is nil. It just means the field thinks that it's empty. If it *isn't* nil, then make sure that the field editor has committed changes. Remember that in the UI, when editing a text field, you aren't editing the text field, but the field editor. Edits aren't normally committed until either the field is exited or effected by certain binding options (such as 'continuously updates value"). Best, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
