I give up...
I have reached a point where I think I need to accept that I will never make a working table view.
I am writing an app with a tableview. the array that feeds it is an array of 3 item dictionaries. Now the table always starts empty.
So if I try and drag and drop something to it, I get an error that I am trying to insert something beyond bounds. the row is always -1 which obviously it cannot be. First off, why is my table the only one on the planet that does this?
second I'm not using drop above or below or on I'm using just a generic drop. So I cannot Put anything on the table without futzing with the rows. If I set the destination row to be row+1 then it allows the drop.
This gets better
once I actually get data into the table, I cannot move it to save my life. If I log what i'm clicking and where it's destination is, the information is all correct. The problem is that when I move it I get a sigbus 10 OR nothing happens at all in the view, but the array that holds the data is shifted. OR the item I move replaces what I move it above. If I move it to the bottom, sigbus 10. Or I end up with a table filled with only a single value, and of course it wipes out the array also.

I have read the docs, books and messed with the examples until my head hurts. I have spent more than 2 months on and off trying to get this to work and basically have wasted the time since I am no better off than I was when I started. Please don't tell me to RTFM because if the FM had the answer or if I understood it, then I would not need to write the list.

The table has three columns, only 2 of which have I ever been able to get data to appear in. But that is the least of my concerns right now. I would really like to be able to move items in the view and have it match the array. If some one can help explain this, or at least look at my code and tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would really appreciate it.

April.

P.S. By the way, does XCode suck this bad or Do I need to wipe the drive and reinstall Panther? It seems to crash every time I take a deep breath.
