You can do this with three tables ....
TblPerson
PersonID
name and address fields

TblGroup
GroupID
Group (author, speaker, speaker's guest, media, etc)

TblPersonGroup
PersonGroupID
GroupID
PersonID

TblPersonGroup gives you a list of persons in each group.

To print your labels, create a query that includes TblPerson and
TblPersonGroup. Include the name and address fields from TblPerson and
GroupID from TblPersonGroup. Set the recordsource for the labels to this
query. You can set the criteria of GroupID for the Group or groups you want
to print.

I'm trying to build a database with minimal working knowledge of Access so
even though I've been through the tutorial it seems way more complicated
then
what I need. I have a list of people's name for an annual event and
basically
need an address book for mailing labels but I need to be able to sort them
for about 10 different fields (author, speaker, speaker's guest, media,)
but
some people belong to more than one group so if I do a print out of labels
I
want to be able to select to just print 'media and speakers' etc. was this
still supposed to be two tables joined together?
