Help! Create labels from a report that's been filtered by form?

B

I have a contacts database. I have a form that is linked to a table. To
filter the records in the form, I have used a FilterbyForm command/macro
button. I would like to be able to filter my records using the form, and
then take those selected records and print mail labels. It would be ideal if
I could have some sort of command button on the form to do this.

I'm somewhat experienced with Access, but I'm no expert! I'm trying to make
the database as user-friendly as possible, since many people (who have
little-to-no Access experience) will be using it.

Please help! Thank you!

Instead of using a form to filter data for a report, use the form to filter
data for a query. Then use that query for the data in your report and also for
the data in a labels report.
