>We have a large database containing names and addresses. The client would like to be able to (a) see these addresses on the screen, and (b) be able to create labels or envelopes from them. All clients have MS Office. What is the easiest way to provide this functionality to an end-user. I know there are many ways to do this but I'm looking for some real world, best-practice suggestions.

What about using the label merging featue which is built into Word? Enter "label merge" in Word's help, and you see how it's done.
