Hello, When you load a NIB file, you can pass an file's owner parameter. The file's owner can be configured when you edit the NIB file (by default it is the NSApplication shared instance).
So, you can try the following: - Edit the Form2 NIB and define the Form2Controller class as the file's owner. - In Form1Controller, create an instance of Form2Controller. - Load the Form2 NIB by passing the instance of Form2Controller as the file's owner. -> You have your two controllers that can talk to each other. This is not the only solution, but this is the spirit. I suggest you to read http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/IB_UserGuide/BuildingaNibFile/chapter_4_section_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005344-CH11-SW1 and especially the chapter "Nib File Design Guidelines". It will help you to understand what to put in the NIB files and how to coordinate the loading.
