Hi
I am a new user to Access. I have a database created and want t
print labels from filtered information in the database. I've trie
saving the filtered information to a report, but when I try to creat
labels, the only database options the label wizard gives is th
original entire database. I have used Microsoft Works for years an
found it so much easier to use in every way. HELP

Use the Query Builder to create a Query that includes the Criteria you want
applied to select the Records. Then, in the Label Wizard, specify that saved
Query as the source of the data, not the Table.

If I have misunderstood your question, post back here with clarification.

Works gets good marks for usability. However, moving to a different software
product and expecting it to be and work the same as some other software
product dooms one to frustration. That happened to many of us who had been
users of Paradox and dBase, when Access first was released. But, after we
spent some time with Access, we found that it seemed easier and more
intuitive, as well as far more capable and flexible than what we'd been
using before. Don't give up -- it will, in time, seem easier.
