Wierd Problem with Access 2007

Somebody please help! I've been trying to solve the database "problem"--do I keep Top Produce, use ACT, or, wait a minute, I have Access 2007 on my computer for free. I tried it, which I think I would really like using its many capabilities. BUT, I have the wierdest problem. The main thing I want to do is print address labels, and for some reason it will not, will not, will not---give me the choice of printing the address field on the label. It will let me put any other field, but "address" does not even show up in the field choices. I can put "address" on any other report but not a label. What in the world is going on? Does anyone know?

What you want to do is generate your print fields in Word and use access as the data base. First of all you open Word and go to Tools >> Letters and Mailings to pull up the Wizard. You may want to also click on the Show Mail Merge Tool-bar. This will allow you to toggle through the address lists. The wizard is pretty user friendly and there are several help topics available on the web or through Word itself. I hope this helps.

Sounds like Access 2007 is a little complicated to do labels. I would keep Top Producer, over the years I have found it to be the easiest to navigate.

You can print labels from word or Outlook far easier. In fact, Outlook will do everything TP will do and much, much more.
