Well I ended up changing my store to a sqlite store and it started working right away. There are some options you can supply when creating the store to force the kernel to flush all changes to the store to disk in a synchronous manner which I applied the first time I tried. Apple's Documentation says this is comparatively much slower but I'm not working with large sets of data and the I don't need to save too frequently. I'm going to try backing off on some of these options to see if everything still works. Nick - thanks so much for your help. >> Nick Zitzmann >> <http://www.chronosnet.com/> >> > _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
