i have id in the first field and i dont want it highlighted when the 2nd
form opens because it(id field) isnt meant to be changed other than the
first form of 17(its a survey) because each following form just places the
ID value from the field on the first form onto all the forms.

made simple:

how do i set the cursor to the field i want upon form opening?

Open the form in design view; set the Tab Stop property of this
control to No. If you're filling the field programmatically, you might
want to set its Locked property to True, Enabled to False, so the user
won't be able to meddle with it at all.
