To add to Jose's comment, the trick is to get your code to fire AFTER any code the Epicor has designed to place the focus somewhere. Sometimes it is as simple as putting it in the load form, other times it take more. Frequently other events will happen that adjust the focus, you might put some after adapter events and message boxes into your code and follow the events. If you can document all the events that might be changing the focus you can put your code into these after events to reset the focus. Even with that you may lose the battle.
something a bit kludgey might be to get a reference to the control that Epicor is putting the focus on and add a got focus event to it. Then when this event happens under certain conditions you set the focus to the control you want it to be.

I have the HH Bin Tracker setup that I want the Bin Number to be the field focused first and it just won't do it.
