It sounds to me more like Martin wants to export a fragment of his document, much like someone might send a meeting invitation within iCal. NSCoding is usually not what you want here. It is very fragile; you would need a lot of logic to ensure you didn't start unserializing older or newer versions of objects than you can handle. NSCoding is really intended for cases in which the objects themselves are the important information. In your situation, Martin, the user's data is the important piece; the fact that it is stored in an NSManagedObject is irrelevant. You should use some interchange format to send the data between the instances of your application. This might be a property list, XML, an iCalendar-esque format, or even just a custom plain-text format. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
