Hi there,
You did not specify the version of Microsoft Access you are using, but it is very similar across the various versions generally speaking. I will answer from the perspective that you have a form created already, and wish to add the description (Which is used to describe the purpose of the field to the individual using that form). I am using Access 2007, which contains a rather impressive "help" system, accessible (no pun intended) from the "?" mark in the top right corner of the ribbon-bar. The system will even show you tutorial videos for many common procedures. For adding a description, I generally use what is called "Design-View". You can switch from one "view," or mode of database design and interaction essentially, by using the "view" option on the menu-bar at the top of the Access window. So open the form, or other item in which you are interested, then select, "Design-View," from the View menu. You will then notice that there are a large number of option which can be set at the bottom of the table's design-view, and among is "description." Hope this helps. ave a great Day!

What is a tab order in Microsoft Access?
When navigating through a form in an Access database, you can use the Tab key to move the cursor from one field to another. The cursor jumps to the next field based on the Tab Order you define. The initial Tab Order is created as you add fields to the form.For example, you add the following text fields to a Form:NameAddress 1StateCityAddress 2Zip/Postal CodeYou want the users to press Tab and jump from Address 1 > Address 2 > City > State > Zip Code. Simply edit the Tab Order of these fields by modifying Address 2 (making it Tab Order 3), City (Tab Order 4), and State (Tab Order 5).

How many levels of data validation in ACCESS?
There are basically two levels of data validation in Access. The first level can be specified by the Access developer in the form of validation rules or input masks. The second level is the actual constraints that Access enforces for input into a field. Access will not allow you to add text into a Number field for example.
