Printing labels from Access

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to, or if it possible to, print labels from an Access
table or report?

I don't suppose you tried looking in help first? I think not...

As bad as Access help is, if you had looked for print labels, just like your
question below, the first item listed is "Create mailing labels" which gives
you step-by-step instructions.

Good luck.

Help can be frustrating but there isn't a need in this case.
It's one of the options given if you select "New", as in New report from the
report screen.

Contrary to popular belief, professionals do read the manual...
and (us) nerds like to read them.

Agreed. That was what my comment "As bad as Access help is..." was about.

However, in this case, help was right on.

but there isn't a need in this case.

I respectfully disagree. Not trying help first is inexcusable.

report screen.

If you didn't know that labels were actually reports, you might not stubble
on this.

I forget which one it was, but it seems like in either dBase or Paradox,
labels were actually something different than reports.

Not sure what you're point is here. Seems like you always give good answers.
I don't recall having said anything disparaging about any of your posts.

Pesky computer. At least it was spelled right.

OK. Now it makes sense.
