Worksheet to Database

**Golden Oldie** · 12-05-2008, 07:37 AM

I'm doing my Xmas cards. I've got all the addresses on a spreadsheet and I want to put them on a data base and then print out labels.

I need help with both : database and printing
Thanks:

Why do you need to add them to a database? Can't you just use the excel sheet to mail merge into word?

How would I do that?

Forgot to say, I'm using VISTA at the moment

I've tried reading the 'help' and have followed it through. BUT I'm stuck on saving it in Excel and giving it a new name. I've given it 2 new names after the 'DEFINE' bit but can never it again

Can you attach the 2 files your using (excel and word) and i'll have a look.

Yes, that's really helpful. BUT I've got to No. 8 and can't change it.

On my Worksheet I have all the boxes but each one says 'Next Record' and I can't get rid of it.

Thanks
