Thanks for the reply Dave.

That doesn't seem to be the problem. dataRowsController is hooked up via Interface Builder to the NSArrayController. I know it's valid because the method in my code [dataRowsController selectionIndex] works, as does a test method [dataRowsController content].

I think I've found the problem though.

It seems that the addObject: or insertObject: method call on the controller actually calls the getter then the setter for the whole array. I had an NSLog in my getter that was actually causing the error:

- (void) setDataRows:(NSMutableArray *)newDataRows
{
        NSLog(@"setDataRows: count == %@", [newDataRows count]);
        [dataRows autorelease];
        dataRows = newDataRows;
        [dataRows retain];
}

Once I removed the NSLog line (or just the [newDataRows count] method), it works fine.

Two followup questions:

1. Why can't I use the array count in the NSlog like that?

2. Does addObject: and insertObject: actually just get the whole array, add the extra object, then write the whole array back to the instance variable? I thought it would be more efficient than that.

Thanks,
Tom
