If you create the objects with one of it's initWith.... class methods the object needs to retained because it is usualy created with an autorelease.

make sure you retain your objects before puting them into the model for your TableView ...

and make sure you do not create your own classes with autorelease
for example: [[[classname alloc] init] autorelease]
it will die as short after you fall out of scope.

I had that problem not so long ago ...
i'm new too :) and loving it!

In addition to the solid advice James gives here, it would probably also be useful to post code that triggers the crash, if possible.

Greetings. I am still pretty new at Cocoa, and I am experiencing a bad
access error in an NSTableView when adding an object to its data
source while the table is visible, or on the first time attempting to
show the NSTableView after adding the object. According to the stack
view visible in the debugger window, the bad access occurs when trying
to set the value of the cell. It makes me think I've not allocated or
retained something correctly, but I'm not sure what.

This is probably an over-released object. You should be able to verify this by turning on the NSZombie options (see <http:// developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2124.html>).


One thing to look out for with NSCell is that NSCell objects get copied constantly. They are "rubber stamps" used over and over again to draw the contents of rows, and whenever they are needed the table/outline classes make a copy of them. If you've subclassed NSCell make sure you are implementing all of the NSCopy protocols correctly. If you don't, you get two NSCells both referencing a single object with a single retain. Then one NSCell gets released and the second one blows up.

As I don't know of a way to get XCode to give me the stack trace in
textual form, I've taken a screenshot and posted it at
<http://homepage.mac.com/danaris/stacktrace.png>.

If you open up the console window for the debugger, you can chat directly with gdb. You can issue gdb commands to get back traces, dump variables, etc.
