assign database value to a label

I have an access database table called freedate with one value in a field called freedate.
I have a label called label1 which I have on the page which I would like to display the freedate value from the database on page load.
How do I get one value from the access database table and assign it to the label.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You.
PS - I have already done the code which when you click on a calendar it assigns the date to label1 and then inserts into the database. I just need to retrieve that date and assign it to label1 on page load.
