Easy Mailing Labels with Access

If you have ever done mass mailings to club members, customers, or even friends, the worst part was probably addressing all those envelopes. Access lets you create mailing labels directly from an address book database (or any other database).

To create mailing labels, use the Label Wizard. Mailing labels are a type of report, so you'll start the process from the Reports tab of your database.

Which Database?

I'm going to use a sample database I created using Access's Contact Management template, using Access's own sample data. You can create this same database by following the steps for creating a new database in Lesson 5.
