After using this technique, I did have one more question related to automated class generation. Xcode automatically tried to add the class files to the AppName.xcdatamodeld directory. My initial assumption was that this was only because I had it selected in the source list when I attempted to add the class files, so I selected a new destination of the Classes folder where all other classes are stored. After receiving some errors from Xcode when generating the files, I began wondering if this was the right decision. Does everyone usually stick these files in the xcdatamodeld folder? (I wish I had the errors to show you, but I didn't think to write them down when they popped up. Needless to say, they were errors from Xcode, not during compiling.) Thanks again for all the help, everyone! -Matt _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
