Michael,
the nib files are more like a serialized/archived object. Basically nib files are all data stored in a flat file. After the init method Cocoa Runtime creates objects(windows/text fields) from these nib files and uses it. Its more or less guaranteed to fail if you are sending a message from init.The complete object creation from the NIB file is completed only on getting a awakeFromNib.If want to initialize from init try binding

Rajendran,
Many thanks for your answer. You are right. Now there's something I don't understand in terms of sequence, at least it doesn't make sense to me. I instantiate the Object, why shouldn't I be able to send messages to contained objects? How am I suppose to deal with the sequence? I mean, I instantiate an object but the I can't dispose from it after. How do you deal with that kind issue? I know I could set the string in objects and on awakeFromNib set the text fields, but it just seems inefficient. Any tricks?
Michael
