Hello Scott,
Thanks for confirming.
As Lauren mentioned, the first data entry field that you've added to the layer will receive the focus first. To achieve your desired effect, the way I'd do it is:
- Create the layer on the slide and add the data entry box in the layer first before other data entry fields.
- Next, I'd continue adding data entry fields in the layer.
- The last data entry field I'd add to the slide is the one in the base layer, but when the slide is previewed, this is the very first data entry field that will be shown.
If you follow the steps above, the first data entry field in the slide layer will be the one that will have the focus when the slide layer is initially shown. I've attached a sample project file so you can see how this type of configuration works.
Let me know if you have any questions!
