HELP - Database Help

[Guest]

Hello, - I am new to access and trying to create a simple database so i can
track customer information and product purchases.

I don't really know what I am doing but in following the wizards I created a
table of the fields I need. I am now in the design view and trying to make
it user friendly to enter the data, and can't figure out how to make the
labels the right size and have them not overlap with the data entry field.

Is there a link or a friendly person out there that can direct me on how to
make the form usable.

I would eventually like to make it multi-user with password protections so
others can data enter the database from remote locations, but that is way
over my head. Some employees would have read only access at some point if I
get there as well.

If you select a label or the object the label is attached to, you can drag
both to wherever on the form you want. If you click on the top right hand
corner of either, a hand appears and you can drag that item anywhere you
want independent of the other. Select a label or its object, click on the
properties icon in the menu at the top of the screen. A Properties dialog
appears. There are several tabs. Each tab has a set of properties of the
item you selected that you can change. For example, under the Format tab is
Top, Left, Height and Width. Changing the Top and Left of an item changes
the top-left position of the item on the screen. Changing the height does
the obvious; so does chngong the width. Practice changing all the properties
to learn what they are.
