Sounds like a good exercise to write a test app to try it. I'll try and explore that issue when I find a bit more time. Meanwhile, I'll just do what I need without the beginUpdates/endUpdates calls since I, too, only need to animate one row at a time. > Certainly if you need to perform other operations > (e.g. adding/deleting cells) you will need to wrap the whole block as > indicated in the documentation. > > A thorough discussion of these matters is available in the Table View > Programming Guide for iOS: > > http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/TableView_iPhone/ManageInsertDeleteRow/ManageInsertDeleteRow.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007451-CH10-SW9 Yes, I've read the table view docs but I'll admit that the last time I did it was some time ago and now I was pressed for time so I skipped the docs at this time. Not a good excuse, I know. :) Thanks again for your help.
