Taking Focus off datagrid

hello,
I have a form with a datagrid and combo box. When the form loads up,
i want the focus to be on the combo box. however, whenever it loads up,
the focus is always on the datagrid. in the Form.Load, i tried both
combo.focus() and combo.select(), neither of them will take the focus
away from the datagrid and put it on the combo box. Anyone know how to
do this?

I have run into similar issues. I generally will add a snipit of Javascript
code at the bottom of the page to redirect focus to an HTML element of my
choosing (textbox, combo, etc).

<script>
document.a.cust _no.focus();
</script>
Hope this helps...

I use both, first select, then set focus:
Me.ComboBox1.Se lect()

Me.ComboBox1.Fo cus()

I think by default the control selected on load is the one with the lowest
tab index.
