I am trying to develop an app which allows the user to add records to a UITableView.  I have most everything set up, but I have run into a problem when trying to implement the UITextFieldDelegate which I am trying to use for the data entry.  Here's the full setup, any help or pointers would be appreciated:

User clicks the add button from the UITableView which loads a new UITableView (grouped) to be used for data entry.  The cells in this UITableView are custom cells which I developed in Interface Builder – each cell includes a label & a UITextField.  After a good amount of research I figured out how to get the custom cells to load correctly.

The Label & TextField are linked up to a customCellClass which allows me to customize the loaded data at runtime.  Up to this point, everything seems to be working.  The problem is with the TextFieldDelegate setup:

I want to be able to adjust the TableView to show the appropriate cells when the keyboard is activated, so I am trying to setup the TableViewController as the delegate for the TextFieldDelegate.  In order to do this, I set up the TableViewController as the FileOwner for the customCell in IB and linked the TextFieldDelegate up to the FileOwner.  In Xcode I updated the TableViewController declaration to include the <UITextFieldDelegate>, but still can't get the controller to act as the delegate.

When I switch the delegate to be the customCellClass, using the same methods, it seems to work, but then I'm having a tough time figuring out how to access the TableView to adjust it accordingly.

I'm probably overlooking something basic here, but have been wrestling with it for a few hours and would love any pointers if anyone can help.

Thanks!
