When I open a form in access, how do I set where the cursor will begin accepting entries. Right now, it is starting on a field that I don't want it to start on. I tried moving the field that I wanted to start to the top of the table list, but it is still defaulting to the wrong field.

In design, view menu, tab order - select the correct tab order.
Else you could also use for instance the on load/on current event to setfocus to the control you want to be the "first" selected control when the form opens/per each record.
