Thanks Scott your code worked fine!
I discover why my code wasn't working. I had an extra single quote in my
alert message
which was breaking it.  Ahhhh...
I used the following.
 
function validateForm(form) { 
if (form.myText.value.length < 1 ){
    alert ('You must select at least one question to continue. n\nClick
OK!);
    form.mySelect.options[0].focus();
    return false;
}
return true;
}

Thanks Again.

Try this:
function validateForm(form) { 
if (form.myText.value.length < 1 ){
    alert ('You must select at least one question to continue. n\nClick
OK!);
    form.mySelect.selectedIndex = 0; // The first index
    form.mySelect.focus();
    return false;
}
return true;
}
