Starting field on a form

I have a form that does get initalized with the cursor in the proper field.
After hitting a button and calling another for I go back and clear the DS
and rebuild a grid; unfortunately the active field is still the button and I
need it to be in the grid.

Monitor the form's Activated event, and call your field's Focus() method
from within it.

    Private Sub MyForm_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Activated
        MyImportantField.Focus()
    End Sub
