Yes. Apple is clear about this. If you're going to live in a multitasking world, then assume you will *never* receive applicationWillTerminate. Save state when backgrounding (or before, incrementally, as Apple recommends). I can list for you the few situations in which applicationWillTerminate is received, if you really want me to, but I don't see what good that list would do you. Alternatively, if you insist on working this way, then check the box that says you don't multitask. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.apeth.net/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
