well....not sure if it would really be a database, but I need to make a list of address labels so that I can just print them out and have them ready to stick onto envelopes. I know I will obviously need special paper but I was wondering if Access or Excel would allow me to do something like this. It is in the range of 150-200 addresses so something simple would be ideal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

you can do this in Word pretty easily. in the Tools menu, look for mail merge or letters and mailings or something

^yep. google search "mail merge".

i checked that out and at best I can make 4 new labels then have to save the document. That would be around 40 different documents. I would prefer one document that I could type up, hit print and it print all the labels out. Any other suggestions?

i don't think you're doing it right then. you shouldn't have to do that. keep playing with it. you want to do mail merge -> labels. don't do labels by itself.
