Hi,

not having Leopard I could be just adding noise, but...

Shouldn't your timer's selector method's signature be - (void)
focusOnSearchField:(NSTimer *)aTimer ??  That is, the timer should be 
the argument to the method.

From the (Tiger) docs:

   Discussion

   After seconds have elapsed, the timer fires, sending the message 
aSelector to target. The aSelector method has the following syntax:

   - (void)myTimerFireMethod:(NSTimer*)theTimer

   The timer passes itself as the argument to aSelector... [and more 
deleted]



HTH,
