[SOLVED] Re: AddressBook & phone multivalue

Hi,

Thank you to everyone who replied. It turns out that this was a retain issue
-- I was passing the ABPerson into another method and I should have done a
retain before passing. D'oh!!  :)

It might be of interest to know, by the way, that the phone multivalue was
the only one auto-released during the passing into the other method. The
addresses and other fields remained intact. It just struck me as odd; I
would have expected all or none of the multivalue fields to come through.
