I've messed around with this idea b/c there isn't an easy way to do this. I used a .NET application to create a set of dummy records that are empty. They get printed first and effectively skip over the blank labels.

If you are good with SQL, you could create a table with empty records in it but have a counter field that goes from 1 to 30. Then join this table to your data with a UNION statement and have a WHERE clause which says ID <= # Lablels to skip (this could be a report parameter).

It's tricky, and requires good skills with SQL, but I think this would work for you.

I cover SQL tips and tricks as well as how to make complex recordsets using the UNION keyword in chapters 10 and 11 of my Encyclopedia book. You can find out more about my books at Amazon.com or reading the Crystal Reports eBooks online.
