How do I create macros to repeat street addresses in Access 2000?

The only "Help" I can find for macros in Access Database are for actions. I
want to set up a macro to repeat street addresses for apartment buildings,
for a mailing database, so I can print envelopes.

Could you provide some more specific information. It sounds like you
are wanting to be able to save the same address to a number of individuals
easily. If so you need to set up related tables, one for the individual and
one for the addresses. I would guess that you may need to consider one
individual with more than one address and one address for more than one
individual.

My database will include the street address of three apartment buildings. I would like to create a macro for each building, so when I enter the name of someone living in one of those buildings, I don't have to retype the street address each time. I can do "copy" if it is on the line above, but that's not always possible. the macro would read: 1234 Main Street, Apt#... Also, the city, state and zip code will be the same for all. I will have about 120 names and addresses in this database. Thanks for your help.

I forgot to add that it would be one address for several individuals. Not everyone in my database lives in the three apartment buildings, but enough do so that a macro would be very handy.

I can think of at least four ways of doing it off the top of my head,
but I don't think any of them would really be very helpful for your specific
needs. Maybe someone else will have some better ideas. With only 120
names, everything I can think of would be more trouble than it is worth.
