Hi
Use the client onload event
<body onload="if(document.forms['FORMNAME'].FIELDNAME)
document.forms['FORMNAME'].FIELDNAME.focus()">

There's also a free control by Andy Smith to help with this:

I use this code
public static void SetInitialFocus(System.Web.UI.Control control)
{
if (control.Page == null)
{
throw new ArgumentException("The Control must be added to a Page before
you can set the IntialFocus to it.");
}
if (control.Page.Request.Browser.JavaScript == true)
{
// Create JavaScript
System.Text.StringBuilder s = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
s.Append("\n<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>\n");
s.Append("<!--\n");
s.Append("function SetInitialFocus()\n");
s.Append("{\n");
s.Append(" document.");
// Find the Form
System.Web.UI.Control p = control.Parent;
while (!(p is System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm))
p = p.Parent;
s.Append(p.ClientID);
s.Append("['");
s.Append(control.UniqueID);
// Set Focus on the selected item
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox rbl = control as
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox;
s.Append("'].focus();\n ");
s.Append("}\n");
if (control.Page.SmartNavigation)
s.Append("window.setTimeout(SetInitialFocus, 500);\n");
else
s.Append("window.onload = SetInitialFocus;\n");
s.Append("// -->\n");
s.Append("</SCRIPT>");
// Register Client Script
control.Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("InitialFocus", s.ToString());
}
}
I no longer remember if I authored this code or if I stole it from somewhere
