Print one form from another form

Guest

I am setting up a new database in which I have created a main form with basic
personal & address information. In addition I would like to create a control
button which prints out address labels (which has already been set up on
another form because I am prining individual labels which have to be
formatted to fit an individual label printer). I am not sure how to link the
two forms. All the information in the address label is already listed on the
main form.

First, you should be printing a report, not a form.

Once you build the correct REPORT, you can open the original form in design
view and add a button to it. The wiazrd will allow you to select a report
to print and will even let you specify that you only want to print the
report for the current record.

Short answer: Build a report and add a button to your form with the wizard.
