Not so. If an outlet in IB is called "cancelButton", nib-loading will call setCancelButton: if it exists, and of course setCancelButton: can be a front for anything at all; no instance variable need exist, in fact, let alone one having the same name. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
