I setup the table, my problem comes in when trying to print labels (off a 6 label per sheet) when the first 2 labels have already been used.(or any combination have previously been used) I need to make it print on the next available label. I can't figure out how to do this. Any help will be appreciated much.

Kicker:

Although you run the risk of getting labels caught in the printer when you reuse label stock, the simplest way is to build a script which asks you how many labels have been used on the stock you'll be feeding in, then temporarily create that many blank records (and I mean totally blank) at the front of your print list.

If you've got static text (field labels or whatever) on your layout, you can build a series of layouts with different-length (blank) headers on the first page, and, according to how many labels are gone, go to the right layout, which will only start printing where you've got labels.

Thanks for the advice. I only use 6 labels per page so I just made 6 layouts each with the merge fields at different locations, hooked up a script with 6 buttons and walla it does what I need. Probably not the best way to do things but it's only for me anyhow. But I do thank you for the answer. You guys are a great help.
