Jean, I think your problem isn't the table, but that you're mixing up bindings and outlets. To connect an outlet, simply Control-Drag and hook it up. Use the little icons at the top of the inspector pane to switch to "Connections Inspector", which shows the list of all outlets, actions, bindings etc. and see it worked.
They're all connections, but the stuff in the Bindings Inspector that you are describing is not for IBOutlets. Outlets are specific object properties that point to objects in your XIB. Bindings are relationships that pass values between an object in your XIB and a (pretty much arbitrary) property of the object you bind to. Now the object you bind to *can* be another object in your XIB, but it can also be the application, or the user defaults singleton, or an object referenced by one of the objects in your XIB (like the current selected object in your table view). I know this stuff is similar, you'll just have to learn more about these two things to know how to tell them apart.
