Narrative:

Uploaded JASPA2 runway 17R trexx first waypoint. Cleared to runway 18L. Changed load to runway 18L larrn...verified with first officer and looked at route page for runway and legs page for larrn for verification to ground control. Runway lineup correct. At 400 ft engage navigation; and first officer engaged autoplt at 600 ft AGL with navigation track. Wrong frequency was loaded for departure; and I was distracted with finding correct frequency. First officer recognized wrong active waypoint; and I checked FMS...exceute light was illuminated...I hit execute button and larrn became active navigation point; and directed first officer to manually fly back to correct ground track. Estimate course of error of .5 NM. No calls were made from ATC. Obviously did not verify waypoint on map prior to takeoff.
