how do I print envelopes from database in access 2000?
i need to print the address on the envelope rather than on
an address label.
thank for your help.
 
Sharon,

Just open a report in layout view and design your envelope. Then click on
file, page setup and select the size envelope you want to use.

Printing on an envelope is just another report.

The below instructions are for printing the address on a #10 Business
envelope.

First you must determine if your report is going to print in Portrait
or Landscape mode.
If the envelope feeds into the printer narrow side first, it will be
in Landscape.
If flap side first, Portrait.

The below instructions are for Landscape.

Make a new report.
Place the Address labels at the left margin.
Size the width of the report just a bit wider than the labels.

Click File + Page SetUp + Page
Set the Page Size drop-down to #10 envelope.
Since the envelope feeds in narrow side first,
set the Page Orientation to Landscape.
Then click on the Margins tab.
Set the Left and Top margins to print the address at the proper place
on the envelope.
To print on a #10 business envelope, for example, I set the Top margin
to 2.75" and the Left margin to 3" in Landscape.

Print a sample.
Readjust margin settings as needed

For Portrait mode, follow the above instructions, but, of course,
change the Page SetUp mode to Portrait, and adjust the margin settings
accordingly.
