Too bad, I strongly suggest views in that kind of situation...and any other, for that matter. Avoid direct use of tables; I don't have a single action performed directly at a table in several big applications (3.0 & 5.0). Its safer, easier to update/revert changes and, after all, what the views are for.
Apart from that, something like

grid.columns(1).SetFocus()

should do it, as Cetin explained in his posting earlier.
