I personally use the ActiveControl property. Never failed me as of today.

ActiveControl = Address;

Just set the Tab Index property of the textbox as 0. Otherwise you can set call the focus method on load event

In Form_Load event call:

yourTextBox.Focus();

You may look at Control.Focus() on msdn

You may also look at this article to Set the Tab order if you don't want to use Focus()
