Thanks Matt, was kind of hoping you would provide some insight (your responses to others have been helpful).

I guess that was my question. When I declare something as an IBOutlet, am I exposing it to others? If I'm the only one to access it, then only I can shoot myself in my foot. However, the question is now moot, see below. > How about giving the label, if created in the nib, a tag number (how much > trouble can that be, since you had to go into the nib in order to make the > label in the first place) so that no ivar is needed in order to find it? I haven't used tags enough in the past to think of it, but this appears to be the solution.
