Really? There's no way to associate the MOC with the persistent store of an existing doc, and then do a save operation, and have the objects transferred automatically? Because it seems like Core Data supports creating a second MOC on an existing persistent store and then saving. My problem is that in some situations, new data is being added to an existing store, or a new store, and in some situations, data from an existing store is being edited in a separate MOC (never in the original MOC). So, you're saying I just have to manually create corresponding objects and copy all the property values over? -- Rick _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
