I\'ve searched and searched but nothing has really worked.
I\'m trying to set a textvalue from a text box, into a string or whatever, so that I can call it up later
You could make an instance variable on the other view controller retain or copy the value before you push/pop the view. For example:
OpenNextViewController *varNextPageController = [[OpenNextViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"OpenNextViewController" bundle:nil];
varNextPageController .textString= self.textString;
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:varNextPageController animated:YES];
[varNextPageController release];
In "OpenNextViewController" in this example have an instance variable "textString" that retains or copies (depending on your needs) your text.
