More than 5 tabs in tab bar controller

Question

Hi,
I'm totally at a lost trying to get 6 tabs connected to my tab bar controller, which was created using the tab bar controller template.  Everything thing works fine with 5 view controllers.  When I add a 6th view controller I get the "More" tab in the 5th position, which when touched opens up a table view showing 2 more tabs for the user to choose from.  Touching either row in this table view causes the app to crash.  The error reads:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'
Any help or direction will not go unappreciated I've scoured the web and this forum for an answer I can understand.  I did get bits of code and explanations regarding using:
    UIViewController *moreViewController = tabBarController.moreNavigationController.topViewController;
    UITableView *moreTableView = (UITableView*)moreViewController.view;
But, it's wasn't enough me to understand how to piece it all together.
Thanks,
Amy

Open Xcode, then click on 'Window', click on 'Organizer'.
Then click on the Documentation icon.
Seach for 'viewcontroller'.
Read and study the documentation for the various flavors of viewcontrollers.
Then try applying some of your newfound knowledge your code and see what happens.
I've found that trying a few ideas based on what I've read about is the best way to learn.  Be prepared to make lots and lots of mistakes;  You'll learn something from each one.
Above all, be patient.  This technology can't be learned in a day or a week or even a month.  It may take months before you have that 'aha!' moment.  Once you do, it will start making sense.
