How do I include more Help options for really inexperienced users?
Things like on the forms (beside each label), how can i include a question
mark symbol that, when the mouse hovers over it, shows the format needed for the data that should be input? e.g. contact number - 028 90 000000 |

You can easily do this with the Control Tip Text property. Open your form in
design view and select the control which you want to show the format for. Open properties and go to the Other tab. Type in your example format in the Control Tip Text property.

Forcing your users to follow your formatting may leave them less likely to use your application. What about the idea of you adding validation code that reformats what they enter into the "proper form"?
