creating mailing labels from an access data base customer mailing

I'm trying to help my computer illiterate friend update his customer mailing
list and create mailing labels from his access (2000)data base. I seem to
remember doing this with no problem with access 97, but can't do it here.
Help!

There is a report wizard for doing this. How far did you get and what
problems did you encounter?

Duane, We tried the report wizard, but it gives us a copy of the customer contact list and nothing else. We have the list in both access 97 file format and 2000 file format , but are findind it all impossible to use. Any straight forward instructions?

You have lost me. What gives you a "copy of the customer contact list and
nothing else"? Is this a table or query? Where is this appearing and what
else do you expect to see?

Duane, When I open the file and and click on reports, I shows our customer
list.

It's not the report wizard it's the label wizard you need to use.

On the main database folder, select Reports.
Then click on New.
When the dialog box opens, select Label wizard (it's the last item in
the list).
Enter the name of the query or table to be used as the label report
record source.
Follow the wizard's instuctions.
