>If what Bruce has suggested doesn't work for you, try setting the focus to your control in the form's GotFocus, not the Init. Strange things happen if you try to SetFocus from the Init.

Indeed, you've disturbed the natural event firing, though depending on what you're doing, it may not cause trouble...probably a good thing to avoid, in general, though. A setfocus in the Init causes the form Activate (and anything it runs) to run earlier than normal, then the Init finishes up...
