When you need to create controls, the toolbox gives you quick access. Since the same toolbox is used for designing both forms and reports, you may not find all tools useful for all forms. The toolbox should be visible when you enter the form's Design View. Text Boxes and Labels Text boxes and labels are the default tools for looking at information in an Access form or report. Text boxes display the information either entered in a field or calculated on the form, while the label is a caption or descriptive text.
All labels are unbound controls, but they can be attached to other controls.
Every text box you create on your form will automatically have an attached label. You can use labels to create titles and headings. A check box contains an X when turned on, while an option button has a dot when selected. Toggle buttons indicate a choice between two values. You can change the face of a toggle button to display your own text.
