Someone with very little computer experience is having problems with the
label wizard. She is able to create a new label report, but the result only
contains numbers. It is an address database and all fields are text fields.
Apparently normal reports (not labels) are just fine.
I can't think of any solution. Anyone else having an idea of what could have
happened? She doesn't see names, addresses, etc. but just numbers.
Chances are that she is using the wrong table to aquire the information. I
think she is using relationships to another table, maybe created by lookup
tables wizard. Really, she should check the reports datasource. If there
is a relationship, then it will give the record number instead of the actual
data.
You may want to start with a developing a query and check the data. Add
the table that hold the real data, draw up the required relationship.
I hope this helps.
