Sorry forgot this part.
There are a couple of ways
1. Set the TAB order of the fields in the form, and specify the first field
Open the form in design view, and select from the menu "View" -> Tab Order

2. On the form OnLoad event of the form you can use the SetFocus to set the
focus to any field

Me.[TextBoxName].SetFocus

I promise I tried that already, but now I feel dumb for asking and what I
thought should work WORKED. But you didn't comment on what I should do to
have the cursor move to the first entry field or a field of my choosing
altogether.

Greetings all...My issues today is that I have a Text Box on a form that is
formatted to display the value of a field; "=[FName] & " " & [LName]". Now
although I can't edit the information in the Text Box, I can select it. Is
there a way to prevent it from being selected. You may ask what would it
matter if it’s selected if you can't edit it. Brings me to part two of my
inquiry. Is there a way to have the cursor start on a particular field when
the form is opened. Something like on open go to field LName so that an
entry can be made if need be. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestion.
