Cursor Position / Scroll Button

I have two issues:

1) I've added a button on a form to add a new record. Is
there a way to make the cursor go to the first data entry
field when the blank form opens?

2) I have a series of combo boxes and drop down lists on a
the form. When a user uses their scroll button on their
mouse to scroll through these lists, it tries to advance
to to next record and returns an error that required
fields haven't been entered. Is there a way to make it so
that users can use their scroll button?

Thanks for You Help!

In answer to the first question...Every data entry field
Click to expand...
has a Tab Stop and Tab Index property under the Other
heading of the properties list. Select Yes for Tab Stop
for every control you wnat the cursoer to tab to and then
select the order in the Tab Order field. The first field
to get the focus should be set to Tab Order 1 and then you
can adjust the others accordingly.
