To get started, open Microsoft Access, create a blank database. Click the “Create” menu, and select “blank form”. At this point, Access (2007 or 2010) should present a blank form. The ribbon displays the various items that you can include in a form.
For ths experiment, let us select a seemingly static element: a label. Once you select the “Label” tool, the mouse cursor changes to a cross-hair on the blank form so you can click to control the origin (upper left corner) of the label.
After you click, a box appears with a blinking caret (text cursor). You have to type something in the box, otherwise the label object won’t get created. Let’s type “Initial text”, then press the ENTER key to accept the input.
At this point, the label is created! Now let us start our experiment and find out the complex nature of even a label!
