if there is any control on form2 , you can just set focus to that control on the load event of your form 2. like

me.comboBox1.focus()

Hope this helps you.

it is still behide form1

...now when the Form2 is show and everytime i click a button the Form2 lost its focus

I have to ask, which Form parents the buttons that you are clicking? If they are on Form1, this is normal as they have to be in focus to be clicked.

Also, does the combobox handler code you posted have any relavence?
Is it on Form1 or Form2?

Try setting the window parent of form2.

'Place a statement to check and launch.
'The check is to safeguard from InvalidOperation Exceptions.

If Form2.Visible = False Then Form2.Show(Me)

'A simple call like:
Form2.TextBox1.Focus()
'Will then focus the control desired.
