Hi scottiesi,<br />
<br />
If you have your tabIndex setup to start it 0 on the first Textbox this will have the first focus(cursor placement) on that textbox, or you can force a focus on that textbox when you load &nbsp;that form(like what brother7 was talking about).

Sorry, but that doesn't necessarily give a textbox focus, to do so you would need to use:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; TextBox1.Select()<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hi, <br />
<br />
When doing Windows Forms in VB.NET, and you have a bunch of TextBox controls, how do you give the first one keyboard focus? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Do you use the method Focus( ) for this? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks. &nbsp;
