While filling in the paperwork for a Schengen Visa with the Embassy of Poland, there is a column that asks for the "member state of first entry" to be entered.

My flight has a 2 hour transit layover in Vienna, and then continues on to Warsaw, Poland. Would the member state of first entry be Austria, or Poland?

    @ACTIONGAMER You will not be staying in transit zone since the flight from Vienna to Warsaw is within the Schengen external border so even if the flight is to a different country you're unlikely to encounter immigration control in Poland for this flight.

The "Member state of first entry" will be Austria because that's where you will pass through immigration.

    You are right in applying to the Polish consulate because (I assume) that's where your main destination is. Your passport and visa, however, will be checked at the port of entry, which is Vienna and hence "Member state of first entry" is Austria.
