Not sure if this will work, but try setting the currentcell to nothing at the end of the form load event, e.g<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-37854679-1">Me.DataGridView1.CurrentCell = Nothing</code></pre>

DataGridView - Row Selection

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
