I have only one data entry field on my form and when the
form is launched, I want the cursor to default to that
field, how do I accomplish this. Thank you

In the properties of that field change the tab order to 0.
Make sure that the tab stop property is set to yes.

You can make it the first field on your form when you create the form.

You can make it the only field on the form with a tab stop="Yes".

You can change the tab order of your form so that field is first.

OR...

You can put code in the OnOpen event of your form to set the focus to that
field.



Any of these should work.
