I have information (including peoples names and addresses) in an Access Table
and cooresponding Form. I want to send letters to the people listed in the
table. How can I get Access to print either envelopes or labels using the
information in my tables?

I'm a new user of Access 2000

Labels you can do directly in Access. Just select New when the Reports tab
is active and there is a Wizard that will lead you through the steps. For
envelopes, it can also be done is Access, but is a bit trickier and for a
new user, it might be simpler to use a Mailmerge in Word that uses your
Access table as a datasource. If you select Mailmerge from the Tools menu,
there is a helper that will step you through the process.
