Hello All: I'm really new to Drupal and using version 5.10 basically because of the level of modules available for this level. I'm in the process of creating a data collection web site and I have the content type created all the collection part works and I can see and search the data.
I need to go the next step and make the content type a page so the form is able to be seen my users to enter the data but to be honest I'm lost. I'm reading alot of materials and google search has become my best friend but still confused. Could anyone point me in the right direction and give me a little advice.
Please and thanks....

You mean, you want your users to be able to enter data using the form you have created for your content type?
If I understand you correctly, the answer's quite simple :-) Go to admin/user/access, and give your users (authenticated users, and/or anonymous users, or whatever) permission to create that content type.

I see....
Wow ... So simple... Is there a way to make this form appear on the primary or secondary links ?
Thanks
use admin/build/menu
Suppose your new content type form is called 'foo'. The path to create this content type (or let people enter stuff into the form) is node/add/foo.
Go to admin/build/menu and choose 'Add menu item' to whatever menu you want (primary or secondary, whatever). For the title choose something reasonable, and for the path put node/add/foo where foo is the name of the content type.
There are some excellent video tutorials and beginner guides out there. Go take a look at drupal.org and the documentation section, or check out lullabot.com or drupaldojo.com for some excellent tutorials on how to accomplish tasks in Drupal.
