Re: Newbie: cannot find method

Typo.  Your method name is JDAProcess: not JDAProcess (notice the colon 
on the end).  Thus, your call should be

[self JDAProcess: self];

Alternatively, since the :(id)sender is for UI access, a common thing 
to do, if the sender is not actively used by the method, is for 
JDAProcess: to be a wrapper around a version of the method without a 
paramter. ex:

Add to header file:
- (void)JDAProcess;

Add to .m file:
- (IBAction)JDAProcess:(id)sender
{
   [self JDAProcess];
}

- (void)JDAProcess
{
   ...
}

Of course, you may very well know this and it was only a type :-)

Another pair of eyes is a wondrous thing.
