make or have?

I have some trouble seeing the difference between make and have although I know that you "make" someone angry/sad etc... and that you "have" someone do something (clean the bathroom, etc...)

but other than that, I can't decide which one to use.

Also, about "have", sometimes the -ing form (gerund?) is used eg : He had me running all day.

How do I know if it's have someone doing something or have someone do something ?
