- field validation check appropriate for Item Number, Customer Number and Item Quantity

For item & customer it depends on when the validation is done, but you could check for a particular format mask ie you only accept 6 digit numbers starting with a particular digit or you could validate against the values stored in the database for instance.

Item Qty - must be numeric, > 0, a whole number, you could set a limit eg no more than 50

- two distince types of resource managed by the OS on a stand alone pc
"i think memory and cpu but i could be wrong?"

They both sound good to me.

-one task a network os will have as opposed to a stand alone
"i was gonna say managing application resources" >> I would say this applies to both.
"user access" >> yes

also - File locking/ file sharing

Hope this helps,
