That was my misunderstanding because of the confusion of the docs, or maybe the lack of generous explanation in the docs. The explanation they give sounds like they mean the context created specifically to do an operation, like the way that a temporary private context is created, say, to do a bulk add, then is merged with the parent main context when complete. That's why I said there wasn't a context in that call chain, meaning I didn't create a private context to do this work. It's a bit more clear now, thanks to all of you that have chimed in here. -- Steve Mills Drummer, Mac geek _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
