Hi Ruth,
For the type of application you have you don't need something as powerful as
MS Access. I would recommend using the MS Works database program. It will
enable you to print labels, etc. and it is simple to operate.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] NG: Access
Thanks, Jim, for the information on a new Access program being tested.
I am creating a database of the alumni from our church school. There are
several thousand names. I am currently putting the names, addresses, etc.
in an Excel spreadsheet. The ultimate goal is to be able to sort the
information in various forms; i.e., year of graduation, surname, zipcode.
And then want to be able to create labels from the information. I know
spreadsheets pretty well, but I can't quite figure out how to get labels
from the spreadsheet.
That's why I am really interested in Access. Can I get address labels from
an Access database?
