Question

Why does my app quit when user scrolls down the UITableView, past the first/last cell?

Here is my log:

2011-11-02 07:53:23.794 School VLE Business[20876:707] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason:

Bear in mind that this is the code I use to add/remove objects to/from the UITableView:

maincelltext = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
subtitlecelltext = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

if(maincelltext.count == 0){

[maincelltext addObject:@"No Dates Set"];
[subtitlecelltext addObject:@"Try adding a note!"];

}

if(Assignment1DueDate.text.length > 1){

    [maincelltext addObject:Assignment1.text];
    [subtitlecelltext addObject:Assignment1DueDate.text];

}

if(Assignment2DueDate.text.length > 1){

    [maincelltext addObject:Assignment2.text];
    [subtitlecelltext addObject:Assignment2DueDate.text];

}

if(Assignment3DueDate.text.length > 1){

    [maincelltext addObject:Assignment3.text];
    [subtitlecelltext addObject:Assignment3DueDate.text];

}

if(Assignment4DueDate.text.length > 1){

    [maincelltext addObject:Assignment4.text];
    [subtitlecelltext addObject:Assignment4DueDate.text];

}

… and so on…

One of your arrays is empty and you are trying to get the first element out of it. Make sure this logic runs before -(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section is called by the UITableView so that it can return the correct count.
