asked on Crystal Report Labels starting point on page, VB.Net, VS 2012
Using VB.Net in Visual Stuido 2012, we have a need to call a Crystal Report that prints labels. These labels are a 2 x 6 layout on 8 1/2" by 11" laser printer paper. It is desirable to choose which label to start with. For example, start in row 3, column 2 and print 17 labels (which will "bleed" onto the next page).
How would one accomplish this?

Thanks -- I'll see if I can follow that discussion!
How about inserting blank Detail a, Detail b, Detail c... sections (as many as the maximum number of "skips" you need. You can then Un-suppress as many as you need based on the parameter. In the N'th section, the suppress condition would be:
{?Number_of_Labels_to_Skip
So, for Detail b, the suppress expression would be {?Number_of_Labels_to_Skip
{?Number_of_Labels_to_Skip
So, for Detail b, the suppress expression would be {?Number_of_Labels_to_Skip
That works except he has 2 columns so unless the report can skip a full row a label may get missed.

I'm not sure I understand the last comment. If you mean the printout may contain more than one record, then add a condition to always suppress the blank sections on 2nd record and above. So:
(NOT OnFirstRecord) OR ({?Number_of_Labels_to_Ski
(NOT OnFirstRecord) OR ({?Number_of_Labels_to_Ski
No, I mean he has 2 columns so he may want to start printing in the right column rather than skipping over it. Printing blank sections will skip the label in the right column.

Didn't notice the multi-column layout stipulation. Indeed, as pointed out by mlmcc, extra detail sections would not work in this case.
