Thanks for the quick reply, Roland. That's exactly what I needed to solve the problem.
A couple of side questions: 1. Another way to archive the data is to use "dataOfType:error:" and I wonder if one way is preferable over the other. 2. I use the save: method to write the data and there are two files created: a .mom file that describes the data model and an sqlite file containing the actual data. Another program is going to read the data file and I'm assuming only the sqlite file needs to be read (and the .mom file just ignored). To read the data I plan to use readFromData:ofType:error:. Instead of the save: method when would one archive the data using dataOfType:error:?
