Would be worth looking at an SQlite database too (dead easy to use).
www.sqlite.org
Googling seems to indicate that SQlite can be tied into OO.

John should be able to write a program in Visual Basic

Google visual basic sqlite
Bit of effort to get your existing data into a database would pay off
in the long run.
Oh, and Freshmeat has label templates for Ooffice.
