Others have mentioned that Sandboxing won't let you access that file. Apart from that, it's a bad idea. Apple may, at any time, change the schema of the SQLite database. At best, your app will autocomplete user names into e-mail address fields instead of the addresses, at worst you'll crash. In general, it's not a good idea to just access other apps' files, unless you have talked to the authors and they're willing to supoort you. It's not a reliable mechanism, and you wouldn't want to sell your users unreliable software. -- Uli _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
