I am new to this but, (just in case...) have you, by any chance,
named a
function in your delegate as a setter for your outlet

fell into that trap a little while ago: -awakeFromNib is called
before the
outlet is connected and it never gets wired to the nib.
o_O -awakeFromNib is called after all the outlets are hooked up.
That's its entire purpose.
Sorry, I meant 'windowControllerDidLoadNib', but that obviously only
makes sense in a document based app, which is where I saw it.
Still, if you look at this little test app (public link to Google
Docs), you'll see what I mean. There is an AppController class, (which
was made the window's delegate) with an outlet connected to a text
field and a button in the window. The button calls an Action called
'setTextField', but the 'textField' outlet is never available when the
button is clicked. The outlet wasn't wired, even though it is
correctly connected in IB. Now if you change the button's action name
to fillTextField (or anything other than setTextField), everything
works ok -- the field is there waiting to be accessed.

So I really learned that lesson: never give an accessor name to
anything that is not meant to be an accessor.
