I think that is what I did with the line [viewController2.label2 setText:label1.text];
Then [self.view addSubView:viewController2.view]; brings up the subview. The only problem is that the text in label two is not displayed correctly until I release and reload the view. I have a button to remove view which fires the code [self.view removefromSuperview]; then when i bring the view back up with the above code, the label has the correct text in it. This seems to be something pretty simple and yet I am struggling with it. What is a good resource for me to read that can give me a basic understanding of things like this? Why do I have to bring this view up twice in order to see the proper text in the label? Steve On Sep 21, 2010, at Sep 21:4:11 PM, Eric E.
