Printing labels in a certain row or column on the sheet

Does anyone have code written that will enable you to
choose the starting printing position (row and column)on a
page of blank labels? The generic report wizard in Access
assumes you have an entire page of blank labels. I had a
former co-worker who put together code that would ask you
for a starting row and column, so that if you had already
used some of the labels on a sheet, you could insert the
page back into your printer and choose a start printing
further down the page. If anyone knows how to do this,
I'd really appreciate the help.

First make sure your label report is properly printing a full sheet of
labels.

Then add a Report Header to your label report.
Add 2 text boxes to the Header.
1) Name one SkipControl
Leave it's control source unbound

2) Name the other SkipCounter
Set it control Source to =[Skip How Many?]

Now code the Report Header Format event as below:

Private Sub ReportHeader_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As
Integer)
[SkipControl] = "Skip"
Cancel = True
End Sub
==========

Next code the Detail OnPrint event:

Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
If PrintCount <= [SkipCounter] And [SkipControl] = "Skip" Then
Me.NextRecord = False
Me.PrintSection = False
Else
[SkipControl] = "No"
Me.PrintSection = True
Me.NextRecord = True
End If

End Sub
=====

When you are ready to run the label report, it will ask how many to
skip.
Then it will run the report.
