Many times we get requests for label generation. Ms Access has a nice
little wizard that takes care of all the formatting. We are getting out of
the printing game and I need to park the labels on a share and have the
user open the file and print them. How should I do this? Is it simply a
matter of outputting the file with a particular type...Note I tried .rtf
and it did not work when they opened the file in MS Word. Should I try
..snp?

NOTE: USERS DO NOT HAVE MSACCESS SO THEY CAN NOT RUN THE LABELS THEMSELVES.

Export the table as either Word Merge or CSV file. Word users can then
create labels from the exported records.

Great but will they have to do anything more than hit the print button, ie
will they need to do a mail merge or something? Thanks!

You can do the merge from within Word and save the document. This doesn't
easily allow maintenance of the list.
