i am doing a project here and i need to define some words that has to do with
Access. so, i was wondering, what does labelling a report meand and how do
you perform it?

Hi Emily,

I can't say that I've ever heard the term "labeling a report". Perhaps the
question has to do with how one uses the label wizard within Access to create
a report that one can print using standard mailing labels?

Which version of Access does this question apply to?

Like Tom, my guess would be that this refers to a label report. This is
really just a multi-column report with a detail section of fixed size so that
the records, e.g. addresses from a Customers table, are printed on the page
in such a way that they will fit exactly onto a sheet of labels. Access
provides a report wizard for creating such reports for many of the standard
label sizes available.

With a bit more work after creating a report with the wizard there are
tricks with which you can amend its design so you can choose how many of each
label to print at runtime, or where to start printing on the sheet of labels
so a part used sheet can be used.
