Or, I should say, in the responder chain... which is a bit more
complicated than just being the first responder. Still, you can't hook
up to an arbitrary object in another nib, as far as I know.

This is also assuming that your other nib will actually *be* the first
responder when the menu item is selected.
If not, then I think you have to make sure that something that is
first responder forwards the message along to the object you're
interested in targeting.

How would i go about doing this?
In your MainMenu.nib, add an action to the FirstResponder
psuedo-class with the selector you want called on the File's Owner of
your "other" .nib file. Then, simply wire the action of your menu
item to First Responder. Cocoa will take care of the rest. :-)
[Again, this is all assuming that your File's Owner is something
"normal" like an NSWindowController or some other NSResponder
subclass.]

How can i connect a menuItem that i have in my mainMenu nib files
to my File's owner in another nib file? Im sure this is really
simple, i just cant find anything on the subject.
Before you do this, are you sure you can't accomplish what you want
using the responder chain? In general, if Files Owner in the
"target" nib is an NSResponder subclass, the responder chain is the
"right" way to get where you're trying to go.
