Microsoft Access / Excel and Charts A chart created using the New Form dialog box is positioned on a form. As such, the form acts as its parent. The chart can only fit inside of the form. Based on this, you can enlarge a form to make available more space for the chart.

Microsoft Access / Forms and Reports A label is a control that serves as a guide to the user. It provides a static text that the user cannot change but can read to get information about another control on the form. You can also use it to display simple information to the user. Most controls on the form are not explicit at first glance and the user would not know what they are. Therefore, you can assign a label to the control as a help to the user. Site: www.functionx.com

Microsoft Access / Miscellaneous Data entry consists of typing values in data fields or selecting values from bound controls. Some records happen to have the same value for a particular field, or most records hold a common value for a certain field. When designing a form, you can assign the most commonly used value to such a field so the user would not have to type it. The user would change the value only if it is different from the usual.
