Change focus

I have a form with a datagrid and two buttons on it. Upon opening the form,
focus goes immediately to the datagrid. How do I set focus onto one of the
buttons. I've tried to use "btnSave.Focus()", but to no avail.

Please help.

Try setting the TabIndex property on the controls to appropriate values, and
ensure that the TabStop property is set to "true" for any controls that
should be hit while tabbing.

In addition to the other reply: If you do not want to change the tab order
of the controls, consider calling the button's 'Select' method instead of
its 'Focus' method.
