I don't understand your question. There is no such thing as "an ivar that is global in scope", and there are no globals, or even statics, in the code that you posted. If you have two different instances of whatever class this is, they'll have distinct userName ivars. If you only have one instance, then userName should only be NULL if you look before applicationDidFinishLaunching is called, or you clear it some time after. Now since you didn't alloc/init, or create it, you should retain it. But even if it's been released, the ivar will have the stale pointer, not null. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
