>>>Hi! I need to give my users the ability to create labels. They should be able to select a standard Avery format and then choose which fields to print from a list I provide. Has anyone done this? Can I do this without having to create a template for each of the 75+ available formats? I have unsophisticated users who need a very simple interface.

I didn't work with Labe Designer much, but assuming that it's similar to Reprot Designer I would suggest following:
1. Prompt users to select fileds in custom label definition form.
2. Then your code will collect values of these fields into a cursor with fixed field names (running some SELECT-SQL).
3. Now you can have one label form for any field selection, printing form the cursor.
