You will need to use the After Update evento of the text box to prevent the
user from going anywhere on the form other than to the comb:

If Not IsNull(Me.MyTextBox) Then
Me.MyComboBox.SetFocus
End If

Then, the before update event of the Combo Box:

If IsNull(Me.MyComboBox) Then
MsgBox "A Selection is Required"
Cancel = True
End If
