If there are any other controls in the form, i.e. buttons or the like just set the tabindex property of
one of this controls to a number lower to the tabindex property of the text boxes so it gets the focus when the form is first loaded
and not the text controls. The way vb works is that the focus is given to the lowest numbered control (in its tabindex property)
which is enabled and visible.
