Hi Guys Can I just suggest something more?

Setting the properties to nil will ensure that the synthesized setter will be called, which releases the previous contents of the synthesized ivar before setting it to nil. - (void) dealloc { beginButton = nil; endButton = nil; nameLabel = nil; numberLabel = nil; myModel = nil; [super dealloc]; } Joanna -- Joanna Carter Carter Consulting _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
